hi all...

i have been using linux for a while now and have decided to try
freebsd 2.1.0...

can anyone help me with getting freebsd to use memory above 16mb???

i have a Dell omniplex 590 with 64mb ram...
when the kernel boots i can see the following:

bios base 635k != rtc base 640k
bios mem 64848k != rtc mem 16384k

...then a few lines later it says:

real mem = 16384k
aval mem = 13xxxk

when the system comes up, it can only see 16mb of my memory!!!
i've looked through all the docs, but can't find anything else to set
(i've tried using bounce buffers)

thanks in advance. :)
michal.
