Hi I'm new to FreeBSD so if this is a silly question please forgive me.
I need to find out how much physical memory I have on my machine. I know
that you can
run "dmesg" to find out, however, my dmesg is full of stuff like this:
swap space
swap_pager: out of swap space
swap_pager: out of swap space
swap_pager: out of swap space
swap_pager: out of swap space
swap_pager: out of swap space

Now, I know these errors are bad that is why I need to find out how much
physical memory is on the box so I can pgrade. I'm a linux user as well and
under Linux to find out the physical memory you just do "cat /proc/meminfo"
or
"meminfo " (for X version). Not sure that if I reboot the box will clear out
the old dmesg, however, I do not want to
do this if I relly don't have to.

Thank you for your help
