Modified files:
sys/i386/i386 machdep.c
Log:
Changed the memory sizing code so that if the following conditions
are met:
1) The BIOS indicates that there is exactly 64MB of RAM, and
2) The memory size isn't specified with the MAXMEM option or
the npx0 msize hack,
...then do a speculative memory probe beyond the 64MB's until the
first bad page is encountered. This is an admitted hack, but should
nonetheless deal with detecting the correct amount of memory in nearly
all of the modern systems with >64MB of RAM.
Also made a change that will cause the list of detected memory chunks
to be printed if bootverbose is set.
