Hello.

I have recently installed BSD with no problems on my machine.
I have since added 8mb of RAM (to add to 24mb), only to find that BSD 
only recognises what I had b4 the 8mb (i.e. 16mb). Is there a problem 
that I need to be aware of ?

I am running a Compaq ProLinea 4/50, and FreeBSD release 2.1

I am including my kernel and an output of dmesg for you.
