David,
I feel like this is a stupid question but I have to ask --
I just added 64M to a machine here -- boosting it to
128M RAM -- and the kernel (top, pstat -T, and dmesg) all
report only 64Mb.
I've heard that this has something to do with limitations
in the BIOS (Int 12h?) reporting to (BootEasy???) and that
I have to provide this as a boot time kernel parameter.
I'll go look through the config but if you could point me in
the right direction that would be cool.
How do I tell FreeBSD 2.1 to use the full 128M of RAM?
(A copy of the `dmesg` output is appended)
Also regarding the MD5 passwd suite: I have a table of
login names and plaintext passwords that I need add to
one of my boxes as a set of passwd file entries.
Can I get away with simply running the plaintext of the
passwords through md5sum, prepending the $1$ and building
the rest of the passwd entries around that (and yanking them
into a vipw session)?
Thanks for your indulgence. I've copies this to the
freebsd-questions mailing list on freebsd.org as well.
