Hello , can anyone help me ? strange things happen when I try to install freeBSD 3.1 on my system (P100, FIC Board with 64MB RAM, Award BIOS from '95). After putting the 2nd install disk in, the computer hangs. when I reduce my memory to 32 MB, everything goes fine. I also checked the other 32 MB and there weren't any problems. As I want to use my full 64 MB RAM, I tried to find any BIOS settings for the memory. So, when I enable the 'Memory Hole At 15MB Addr.', I can install and boot BSD without problems. Could anyone please explain me what this setting means ? And is there another way to get rid of the problem because with this setting I cannot boot my other operating systems ?
