Unfortunately, a large portion of the SMM is on paperback only.
Thankfully, some of the chapters exist online in PDF and PostScript:
01. Installing & Operating:
https://github.com/sergev/4.4BSD-Lite2/blob/master/usr/share/doc/smm/01.setup.pdf?raw=true
02. Building Kernels
https://github.com/sergev/4.4BSD-Lite2/blob/master/usr/share/doc/smm/02.config.pdf?raw=true
On 02, page 22-23, I was able to find a fair amount of mentions about
virtual memory -- you might be able to look there for some advice. Let me
know if you succeed in figuring this out. Also, the Github files I linked
are under the same repository, which has more chapters from multiple of
the books. Check it out.

Definitely late to the party (2 years later...) but when it comes to Unix

Manual.
In recent/modern Unix? I like NetBSD, as SDF introduced me to it. It feels >> very traditional to me.
Really?
Can you tell me how to increase maximum VM beyond 64MB in 4.4BSD pmax?
This is truly not a joke. I've got 4.4BSD on a DECstation 5000/200
and it won't use more than 64MB of VM and will run out of memory
even though there is enough swap space available.
