Hi,
	This is in addition to my last mail. Just to reiterate, I'm using
FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE as of a few days ago, and I've never seen this problem
before. The wierd message comes from /usr/src/sys/i386/i386/machdep.c:

"Too many holes in the physical address space, giving up"

It prints before even the copyright message on bootup. Second is (I think
as a result of this message) My total memory is too small by over 100M (I
have 512M):

Anyone know what's going on/how to fix it?
