The box is i386 FreeBSD 6.2. It only recognizes 4gb. I am currently recompiling the kernel to support options PAE (KERNCONF=PAE) in order to see this. I understand this is still considered a Beta implementation ,and this is a production box. Does anyone have any alternative solutions that would provide a more reliable environment other than PAE?
