I want to thank everyone that replied. I have gone to google for
information about openbsd, i386, pae, and similar.
I see that there was a talk done back in 2006 or so about PAE on i386. I
see some old old old threads about
OpenBSD does not have any PAE support.
The fact that some bits are in the source tree doesn't have much to do
with it. See it as hints for a developer who wants to pick up the PAE
work. But since most i386 machines with 4G are amd64-capable and this
not being something easy I don't see that

Yes, exactly. OpenBSD supports 4GB RAM only on 64-bit architectures.
Isn't that a limitation of Intel x32 rather than an OpenBSD limitation?

Yes and no; higher-end Intel 32-bit parts from the Pentium Pro upward
supported Physical Address

Wouldn't that make ROP attacks more difficult too?

see some old old old threads about
it working, not working, working again, not working again, breaking
it's not a case of setting options or a custom kernel, it involves writing
code (rather delicate kernel code).
on this particular hardware, you are basically either stuck with 4GB or
running another OS.

well, you should have searched for openbsd and PAE :)
i don't think they're going to bother at this point, but don't take my
