Thanks!
Ok, so FreeBSD can use more than ~3Gb of RAM only on server platforms? =
As I
understand from your posts:
I spent one day, try install FreeBSD (7.0 release and snapshot) and =
OpenBSD
(4.3 release and snapshot)=20
on both of my PC's and get nothing :(
I can see real size of memory only if type 'machine memory' at boot =
prompt.
If I do this - I see rest of memory (4+ Gb), as a last memory region =
mapped
from 0x100000000 address.
But FreeBSD (and OpenBSD) just ignore this memory :(
Regards,
Alexandr.

Yes, it supports more than 4 Gb.
