When the system boot (after recompiling kernel) I've see ~1 Go memory above 3 Go is ignored (not exactly something like that) on boot. If I put some options MAXMEM=... the kernel don't boot (more simple :-(( ) But if I install FreeBSD 6.0-amd 64 I've another strange problem (not very important but...)

It's HP Proliant DL 145 G2 with 4 Go of ram. I think is something in the bios but well I've try many combinaison nothing work (well no exactly true, because with some combinaison the kernel see only... 2Go...) Anyone have see this problem before ?
