Moving along, I replaced the BB2 AimgaOS ROM Update file (length 321768) with the original one (length 127956) and re-enabled it in startup-sequence, then cold-booted. I also discovered the magic words "newcli aux:" and connected a serial cable form the Amiga to my Sun so now it's super easy to post output here. I wanted to see what memory looked like before giving the 2632 command. Right now I have

The Prod 2017 boards are the GVP 2000.
The Prod 4626/23 board is the DKB 2632.
The Prod 3643/18 board is the x-surf.
The Prod 3643/19 is the Deneb.
I'm also not getting the two "recoverable alert" errors on booting. Then
1.FS3:> 2632 -m0

So it looks like the 2632 RAM got added in the right place (1000000 - 7000000). Or am I reading this wrong?
In any event I then started Poseidon, AmiTCP, AWeb 3.5, DPaintIV, two instances of Cygnus Ed, memacs, Excellence!, AmigaMail, and calculator. They're all working, all the DOS commnads are working, I'm not getting any Error 41's and now I have:

We're now well into using the 2632 RAM and things seem stable enough. So perhaps the 2632 can be used with OS 3.9 after all. Unless there's some important reason not to, I'm just going to continue using the original AmigaOS ROM Update file from the 3.9 CD instead of the one from BB-2. How say ye, oh great Gods of Amiga?
