Prior to that, the partition was Linux. In /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/PCHB1F (my kernel config file) I have: options "MAXMEM=(80*1024)" The custom kernel appeared to compile okay, (except sound, but it's PnP). "sysctl hw.physmem" yields: hw.physmem: 82210816 "dmesg" yields: ... real memory = 83886080 (81920K bytes) avail memory = 78594048 (76752K bytes) ... Looks like it sees it all.
