Hello

After upgrading FreeBSD 4.6 stable on an old compaq proliant it's
reading the wrong memory amount from the BIOS at boot time like so:

BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01
Console: internal video/keyboard
BIOS drive A: is disk0
BIOS drive B: is disk1
BIOS 638kB/15360kB available memory

FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8
...

just before booting the kernel. the server has 256MB of ram installed.
this problem has probably been there for more than a month (since the
last upgrade in july) but it wasn't noticed until last week.
a recent buildworld/installworld (finished on monday) did not solve the
problem.
I'm sure it's a software problem, because I tried changing all
components of the server but the disks.

HELP!
