If you run dmesg on FreeBSD 12 on amd64 you'll see lines "real memory =3D .=
.." and "avail memory =3D ...".  They don't show up on 64 bit ARM systems r=
unning CURRENT.  I can't find anything in dmesg output to show memory.  Is =
this difference a bug or a feature?  The peculiarites of the IBM PC memory =
map may have caused developers to pay more attention to memory on x86 syste=
ms.  My feeling is if the kernel prints out details of each disk drive it s=
hould at least say how much RAM it has.=
