I run both DOS and Freebsd on it. The problem I have is with the memory the DOS mem command reports. The dos mem commands reports 634 conventional and 0 upper or reserved. What gives? Non of my other systems do this. They all respond with 384K reserved and 92K upper. When I boot FreeBSD is there a command that will tell me what BSD thinks the physical memory layout is? I don't care about virtual at this point. I just want to see if the FreeBSD view of the system is any better. Also, do any of the Hardware-Hacker types have any clues on what could be wrong with the hardware. Note: I've removed all the crap from the config.sys and command.com so I don't think its software. At boot: 20096KB memory checked at power-up or reset DOS mem: Conv 634KB Upper 0KB Reserved 0KB Extended 19456KB In short, where is the other 6K and why is none of the extended being used to fill the upper + reserved regions? FreeBSD Unix: What command should I use? (vmstat didn't help me) System Info: VESA 486 Deep Green PC (R407e) 20M (4M + 16M, 30pin SIMM) 256K cache Diamond Pro VESA LB Multi-IO Card /w EIDE drive TIA for any help.
