What's wrong with 'ifconfig xl0 down' and 'ifconfig xl0 up'?

Whatever your machine supports.

Some older BIOSes don't report more than 64MB, in which case you'll have to
manually set the value in your kernel configuration file (using the MAXMEM
option) to have FreeBSD see more than 64MB. Don't forget to recompile the
kernel!
