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! --Dan -- Dan O'Connor On Matters of Most Grave Concern http://www.mostgraveconcern.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
