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.
