Try putting hw.physmem="768M" in /boot/loader.conf and see if it does what you want. > Physical memory use set to 786432K [...] > real memory = 536870912 (524288K bytes) > Physical memory chunk(s): > 0x00001000 - 0x0009efff, 647168 bytes (158 pages) > 0x00651000 - 0x1fff7fff, 530214912 bytes (129447 pages) > avail memory = 513802240 (501760K bytes) It looks like there is just 512M of available memory in the system anyhow. Setting MAXMEM to 768M isn't going to do you any good. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
