Hello all, I installed FreeBSD 4.4 Release on a old pentium 75 with 32 Megs of RAM. At first it would not boot, even from the cd. Then I enabled "memory hole at 16M" option in the bios and all worked fine. Problem is that the installation only sees 16 megs of RAM. Must I disable the memory hole in the BIOS and rebuild the kernel with MAXMEM option or is there a parameter I can pass at boot time to tell FreeBSD to use all the memory.. Where would I put this boot time parameter /boot/loader.conf ?? I am not using any ISA devices. Thanks for any help, Martin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
