 If I write the alpha4 image to an USB drive, and I start Haiku from it,
 than in the VM preflet I saw the virtual memory is enabled, the size is
 automatically detected and about 2MB virtual meory has been created on the
 boot drive. There is no much more free space on the boot drive to crerate
 a bigger VM file. This small file is always "full".

 I have 8GB of physical RAM. I think the VM is not neccessary, so I suggest
 if there is about more than 2-4GB RAM in the PC, than the VM disable by
 default. If the memory is not enught, than the system may popup an alert
 for the user to enable the VM, or enable it automatically.
