Whoops. I meant I'm using -CURRENT, of course - because I'm interested in
the recent NAND work.

The db88f6281.dts tree is exactly what I was looking for. The memory node
was indeed set for 512M, as PHYSMEM_SIZE was before FDT.
So I set that accordingly:

    memory {
        device_type = "memory";
        reg = <0x0 0x10000000>;     // 256M at 0x0
    };

and now 10.0-CURRENT boots just fine, as did 8.3 with the equivalent change.

Thank you!
