Dear Hackers,

I have successfully installed my new (and shiny) freebsd5.3 on one of 
our hp rx4640 itanium2 system.  With the SMP kernel, it has detected 
the 4 CPUs correctly.  But then reviewing the /var/log/messages, its 
sees only 1G of ram:

Nov  8 18:10:50 TEST2 kernel: real memory  = 1058357248 (1009 MB)
Nov  8 18:10:50 TEST2 kernel: avail memory = 1018814464 (971 MB)
Nov  8 18:10:50 TEST2 kernel: FPSWA Revision = 0x10012, Entry = 
0xe0000040ffe62050
Nov  8 18:10:50 TEST2 kernel: FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System 
Detected: 4 CPUs

On my web searches, I found out that not even PAE is supported in ia64 
arch.  I also put hw.physmem=8G inside the loader.conf but no effect.  
Is there a way for me to convince freebsd that the system has 8Gb of 
ram?

Omar
