Hello The NetBSD paragraph about setting the amount of shared memory for NetBSD in http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/kernel-resources.html is outdated.
Since NetBSD 5.0 the shared memory size settings can be changed via the sysctl interface. For example, to allow 16 MB: # sysctl -w kern.ipc.shmmax=16777216 In addition these settings can be preserved between reboots in the file /etc/sysctl.conf. This part is still valid " You might also want to configure your kernel to lock shared memory into RAM and prevent it from being paged out to swap. This can be accomplished using the sysctl setting kern.ipc.shm_use_phys.
