Subject:   BIOS poke for memsize(2) on SuperMicro P6DOF?
Message-ID:  <9606121005.ZM27898@khan.autometric.com>

I have a SuperMicro P6DOF which is installed with 128MB.
Under DOS 6.2, Linux 1.3.x, and FreeBSD 2.1, the OS's report
only 64MB.  Under Windows 95, it reads 128MB.  What's going on?

When I go down to the DOS prompt from Win95, and do "mem" it
reports 128MB, but under normal DOS boot or for that matter
any other Unix OS's, the memory size report is only 64MB.

I have heard that NT reports the correct memory size.

Should the kernel be poking at a another location, is there
another place ???

thanks for any help,

jko
