Then I do not understand.. I have 3*256 megs on the system, the biios counts them, freebsd 2.2.6 counts them, then panics with 'memory out of range'... neither the install floppy nor the kernel.GENERIC were able to boot with 768megs. BTW will a news server qualify as a system with lots of TCP connections and the need of lots of mbufs ? ================================================== Raul Zighelboim rzig@verio.net > -----Original Message----- > From: David Greenman [SMTP:dg@root.com] > Sent: Saturday, April 18, 1998 6:27 PM > To: Raul Zighelboim > Cc: 'David E.
