I am running BSDI 2.0 (can't get the 2.01 floppies to install, but
thats another issue). What I can't figure out is why top and other
sysinfo programs show the machine with only 48 megs of RAM.

The machine has 64 Meg and we are considering upgrading to 96Meg, but
if it will only see 48, whats the point? 

Just to clear up some of the obvious things, the machine sees all 64
and the kernal sees 64 meg on boot. I don't have any MFS
filesystems...

I'm at a loss. Any ideas? Am I going crazy?
