+.Sh BUGS
+The hypervisor requires a machine dependent amount of physical memory that is
+reserved automatically.
+Although the Physical Resource Inventory
+.Pq PRI
+seems to account for this by presenting less available memory, using the entire
+amount via
+.Ic memory
+is not always successful, e.g. the hypervisor would reject the configuration and
+fallback to
+.Dq factory-default
+upon resetting the machine.
+.Pp
+If in doubt, leave enough memory unused for the hypervisor to reserve.
+On bigger T4 based machines, 1024 megabytes has proven to suffice.
