Dear amd64 freaks,
Yesterday, I installed 5.3-RELEASE to my Opteron dual box.

o Opteron 242 (1.6MHz) x2
o Memory ECC PC2700 Reg. trancend 2G modules  x4
           + CenturyMicro 512M x 4
  (total 10G)
o Tyan Thunder K8W (S2885)

I encountered a prolbem, while installtion. As many one pointed out
in this ML, if we have >4G of memory, ATA hangs up.
so I type
o set hw.physmem="3G"
at boot time.
however, I recompiled and re-installed SMP kernel,
FreeBSD never boots even if I type set hw.physmem="3G".

So I took different way. There's no problem with 5.2.1-RELEASE
and 5.3-BETA4. So CVSup'ing from 5.3-BETA4 to -STABLE
seems to be fine, only set hw.physmem="3G" is mandatory at
installation, and can omit after recompiling world and kernel.

Does anybody here have problems with it?

All the best,
-- NAKATA, Maho
