No, if you want to access it; access is limited to 4G, because that's 32 bits of address space, and your machine is a 32 bit machine. Unless you run IA-64 or SPARC-64, or run Alpha, and fix several of the drivers to use "bus space" properly. Of course, for these platforms, you wouldn't be running 4.3. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
