At work I have a compaq with 20MB of ram. At boot time FreeBSD displays a line with that seems to be the amount of memory freeBSD can see. It only lists 16MB. I think I recall reading somewhere that Compaqs had this problem and that I had to make a new kernell with an option indicating the amount of memory. I followed the instructions on the handbook and FAQ on how to tell freebsd on the kernell the amount of maximun memory. After the computer booted again it was still showing 16. Moreover, after I booted with the new kernell I lost all users and certain system configurations (such as the name of the prompt been the name of the machine).
