Here's a random sample. Of course mount_mfs is using 256M, that's to be
expected.

last pid: 39401;  load averages:  0.15,  0.14,  0.09    up 1+03:32:39  16:31:15
117 processes: 1 running, 116 sleeping
CPU states:  0.0% user,  0.0% nice,  1.2% system,  1.2% interrupt, 97.7% idle
Mem: 146M Active, 445M Inact, 124M Wired, 32M Cache, 86M Buf, 4984K Free
Swap: 1536M Total, 1536M Used, 4K Free, 99% Inuse

I see nothing wrong in the output so far.
