Cyrix 166, w/ 24 MB of RAM installed. 95 setects and uses it just fine, but FreeBSD would only see 16MB. I didn't have the Hard drive space to get the source dist and recompile my kernel. I posted a question and got various suggestions, such as going into kernel config and setting memsize or iosize on npx0 to 24576 (memsize in KB). I tried all these suggestions to no avail. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* |FreeBSD is good. FreeBSD is our friend. UNIX is our god.| *Micro$oft is bad.
