2 Memory problems

Q: I need to create a VxSim BSP (SIMNT) with 32M memory. I modified the value of LOCAL_MEM_SIZE in config.h from (simMemSize) to 0x2000000 and rebuilt the BSP. The FAQ recommends that the /r parameter not be specified when LOCAL_MEM_SIZE > 0x100000. Fine. However, when I try to launch the BSP on the command line (i.e. vxworks /p 0), or from the GUI, the simulator keeps trying to launch over and over. There is no way to shut it down. Only logging out of the machine makes it stop. Has anyone encountered this problem before and if so, what am I doing wrong? Thanks,

A: I found a partial answer. I can at least boot the BSP with 16M memory on the command line (i.e. vxworks -p0 -r0x1000000, use the size in bytes here, the manual says that it is in kbytes, but that is wrong).
