I have a compaq Armada 1598DT which I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.6 on. The
machine has been loaded with 98M of memory.

Unfortunately,the kernel will not recognise the full extent of the
memory on this PC. Evidence for this is the high swap rate, top reports
a low memory inactive level, the info from the boot record (obtained
from dmesg) is as follows:-
real memory  = 16777216 (16384K bytes)
avail memory = 14680064 (14336K bytes)

I have compiled the kernel with the line "options MAXMEM=(98*1024)"
included with no success.

Can anyone offer some suggestions to overcome this problem

Thanks in advance

God Bless

David de Jong
