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. :r ! rsh fbsb2 'dmesg' FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE #0: Thu Feb 8 16:27:02 PST 1996 root@ftphost.mcafee.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/FTPHOST CPU: 133-MHz Pentium 735\\90 or 815\\100 (Pentium-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x52b Stepping=11 Features=0x1bf real memory = 67108864 (65536K bytes) avail memory = 63016960 (61540K bytes) Probing for devices on the ISA bus: sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard sc0: VGA color <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x0> sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa sio0: type 16550A sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa sio1: type 16550A sio2 not found at 0x3e8 sio3 not found at 0x2e8 lpt0 at 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa lpt0: Interrupt-driven port lp0: TCP/IP capable interface lpt1 not found at 0xffffffff lpt2 not found at 0xffffffff mse0: wrong signature ff mse0 not found at 0x23c fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa fdc0: NEC 72065B fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in ahc1 not found ahb0 not found aha0 not found at 0x330 aic0 not found at 0x340 wt0 not found at 0x300 1 3C5x9 board(s) on ISA found at 0x300 ep0 at 0x300-0x30f irq 5 on isa ep0: aui/utp[*UTP*] address 00:a0:24:11:45:6d irq 5 npx0 on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface Probing for devices on the PCI bus: chip0 rev 2 on pci0:0 chip1 rev 2 on pci0:7 ahc0 rev 0 int a irq 10 on pci0:13 ahc0: aic7870 Ultra Single Channel, SCSI Id=7, aic7870, 255 SCBs ahc0 waiting for scsi devices to settle (ahc0:6:0): "CONNER CFP4207S 4.28GB 1524" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ahc0:6:0): Direct-Access 4096MB (8388608 512 byte sectors) vga0 rev 0 int a irq 11 on pci0:15 changing root device to sd0a in_rtqtimo: adjusted rtq_reallyold to 2400 in_rtqtimo: adjusted rtq_reallyold to 1600 in_rtqtimo: adjusted rtq_reallyold to 1066 in_rtqtimo: adjusted rtq_reallyold to 710
