(circa 1995, Pentium-120, 96MB RAM) Everything seems OK except for memory. FreeBSD is only recognizing 16MB or less of installed memory. (double-checked this using dmesg) Now this machine has both PCI and EISA slots. I remember in the bad old days of Netware 3.1x, sometimes on EISA servers you had to manually "register memory" for it to see all the memory. I can say that A) all the memory is seen on POST, and B) the EISA config utility shows all 96MB too. Anyone have experience with this machine, or any general ideas? So close but yet so far..
