Hi, I have some problem with physical memory being getting reported incorrectly on Freebsd 6.3. I have 4GB of RAM installed but BIOS call actually returns following usable physical memory map - base address = 0, length = 640K base address = 1M, length = 2.5G base address = 4G, length = 5.5G How am I getting this third segment? Also, in function getmemsize() in machdep.c, why the variable 'Maxmem' is set to 'Maxmem*4' when hw.physmem and the highest page number obtained from physical memory map don't match? Any help with this would be wonderful. Thanks, Fahadhome | help
