	As Brian Smith pointed out you can use uerf(8) look at
	the boot listing to find the memory size.

	If you know what to command to feed it you can use adb
	on VAX systems and dbx on RISC systems to look at what 
	the kernel keeps track of (_physmem for example).  Or
	you can write a program that uses the namelist in /vmunix
	and then read from /dev/kmem the things you're interested
	in.
