Howdy folks,


FreeBSD 2.0.5 here on a SiS EISA DX2-66. I have 16 MB real memory that 
both the boot up and CMOS find OK, however, top and vmstat _seem_ to find 
only half of this. Anyone have any suggestions on:

a) confirming what FreeBSD sees....top gives

Memory: 7240 K Act 260 Inact 1724 Wired 2576 Free

I have 16 MB real and swap with only inn running on this machine 
shouldn't I have more active. Whats worse is that vmstat shows the odd 
page out.

b) A solution, suggestion etc

Thanks
