You need to add a special line to your kernel. The line is options "MAXMEM=(128*1024)" # MAXMEM specifies the amount of RAM on the machine; if this is not # specified, FreeBSD will read the amount of memory from the CMOS RAM, # so the amount of memory will be limited to 64MB or 16MB depending on # the BIOS. The amount is in kilobytes, so for a machine with 128MB of # RAM, it would be 131072 (128 * 1024).
