Right. So you've compiled a kernel which insists that your machine has 1G of physical RAM yet you state above that it has 512 M. I'm guessing this is a Bad Thing [TM]. You only need to specify MAXMEM if FreeBSD isn't detecting the amount of RAM you have correctly. -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 5083 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
