You'll have to limit the memory during installation with changing the iosiz parameter to be something like 32768 or somesuch. You should be able to install then. Afterwards, rebuild the GENERIC or some other customized kernel to avoid bounce-buffers. You'll also run into kernel address space problems, where others have solutions for that problem. There is nothing limiting us to less than 3GB, other than config issues :-(. -- John dyson@freebsd.org jdyson@nc.com
