Hi list,

I recently (five minutes ago) upgraded the RAM from 32MB to 64MB on a
Compag Laptop.

The kernel I built reports at boot time 16MB real, 14MB avail. It was
built with 32MB.

Two questions:
- The mem amount the kernel reports reflects only the BIOS values ?

- Where can I test in FreeBSD how much memory is available. The command
free -- which I know from my Linux ages -- does not exist under FreeBSD,
at least not in my installation. top reports something like Active,
Inact(ive) memory. What do they reflect ?

Thanks in adavance.

Kind regards,

Lukas
