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? ---------------End of Original Message----------------- 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. -Sean ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sean J.
