Hello,

I have finished installing FreeBSD 6.1 on an IBM PC =
300PL/PII-400MHz/320MB RAM=20
a week ago and I realised it used the hdd alot, so I have updated the =
BIOS to the latest=20
version updated the kernel with the latest stable version, same thing =
with the world.
Finally I took a look in dmesg and saw that the kernel detects only 64MB =
of RAM, how
can I debug this ? The POST is showing 320MB, in BIOS utility on System =
Information
it shows 320 MB ( and yes, there are 320 MB of physical memory :) =
64/128/128 ). Any
help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
