I was just wondering if FreeBSD ran in Real or Protected mode becuase
DOS runs in real and has to use EMS ect... To get out of the 1 meg limit
but UNIX varants use all memory. I was wondering if it ran in protected
mode all the time or just swaped in on out like DOS to access beyond one
meg.

Thanks,
John
