If you booted a FreeBSD image that has "amd64" in the ISO name, then the kernel is actually 64-bit (amd64). The only i386 piece would be the bootloader. There's probably someone here who can help with the issue you describe, as there's occasional posts here and there from people who experience issues/problems when using very large amounts of RAM. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
