Hiya,

I hope that someone's got the time to help me with this one ;)

This is the state of things.  I was running FreeBSD 2.0.5 on a pentium
120 with 32mb of edo (4 pieces of 8mb).  There were problems with the
Adaptec device driver and so I put in a 2.1.0 kernel which solved the
problem.

I've now bought a pentium 200 pro with 82mb of ram (2 x 32mb in bank0 and
2 x 8mb in bank 1) which I'm using with the original disks.  The machine
runs fine, but the OS only recognises 64 mb of ram! ;(

I've got 2.1.5 on CD and am tempted to start again with this release.
If I do this will I get the whole 82mb of ram available?

Thanks in advance,
Joe.
