I'm working from 2.2.5-RELEASE, installed last week.  Prior to that, the
partition was Linux.

In /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/PCHB1F (my kernel config file) I have:
options    "MAXMEM=(80*1024)"

The custom kernel appeared to compile okay, (except sound, but it's PnP).

"sysctl hw.physmem" yields:
hw.physmem: 82210816 

"dmesg" yields:
...
real memory  = 83886080 (81920K bytes)
avail memory = 78594048 (76752K bytes)
...

Looks like it sees it all.  Yes?
