Thanks for that info - this is my first foray into fbsd on arm so I might 
be messing something up.  As a test I swapped in an alpine linux sdcard 
and booted the same rpi4-4 and this is what it reports for cpu and 
memory.   What the heck am I doing wrong?  :-)

Since others are not seeing the memory discrepency, more investigation is 
warranted on my end.

Take care.
