Any help would be appreciated. > > Peter Clark I know that the "NO_MEMORY_HOLE" refers to old ISA devices - because they are only 16bit devices, they can only see the first 16MB of RAM; therefore on systems with more RAM than this, for compatibility reasons, there is a deliberate hole presented in the memory to deceive the devices into thinking there is only 16MB RAM. Unless you have old ISA devices you probably want this option. John. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
