I have a fresh install of FreeBSD on a server with 512 Meg of RAM.

this is what's in dmesg...

real memory  = 536870912 (524288K bytes)
avail memory = 518627328 (506472K bytes)

and this is what shows in top

Mem: 51M Active, 371M Inact, 43M Wired, 13M Cache, 61M Buf, 24M Free

I read a while back on another list that inactive memory was bad because of
speed or something. Is there a way to get more memory activated, or is this
normal and by design?

Second question was...

Is there a way to get syslog to put time and date into the dmesg file? This
is a real pain in the !@# when trying to find out what causes problems, and
the only logging available is from dmesg. Logging to the console with date
and time would also be VERY appreciated.

Thanks,
Chuck Rock
