I have 512M but here's my dmesg (where memory is concerned: real memory = 402669568 (393232K bytes) Physical memory chunk(s): 0x00001000 - 0x0009ffff, 651264 bytes (159 pages) 0x004ad000 - 0x17ffbfff, 397733888 bytes (97103 pages) avail memory = 386895872 (377828K bytes) This is much less than what is really available. /boot/loader detects the proper amount, but for some reason the kernel won't. Any ideas? Ken To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
