Is it just a message error or there is a > limit size of memory in FreeBSD? No. I don't think 2.2.2 auto-probes large amounts of RAM, though - you'll have to set 'MAXMEM' in your kernel config file or upgrade to 2.2.5 or newer. I'd suggest using 2.2.6 anyway - it is a much better release than 2.2.2. Eivind. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
