--- On Thu, 10 Oct 1996 22:47:51 +0200 Philippe Charnier I just made and
upgrade to 32MB (only for few days :-():
I am asked to enter into the bios setup.
When booting I get:
FreeBSD 2.2-961004-SNAP #1: Wed Oct 9 22:10:58 MET DST 1996
charnier@xp11.frmug.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/LENA.wd1
Calibrating clock(s) relative to mc146818A clock...
i8254 clock: 1193128 Hz
CPU: i486DX (486-class CPU)
real memory = 33554432 (32768K bytes)
avail memory = 30429184 (29716K bytes)
I get a panic after the npx probe.
I knew about the 64MB limitation but not about the 16MB one, and my
question is: why does it require
options "MAXMEM=32768"
to work?

That's interesting. I did the same thing on this system (When it was
running 2.1.0, what version are you running.) and FBSD didn't miss a
beat. I've upgraded to 2.1.5 now and it still runs well.
