How do I get FreeBSD to recognize the additional memory????? Here is what I know: - OS is FreeBSD 2.1.5 - Hardware is Compaq DeskPro 5100 100MHZ Pentium ISA/PCI bus - Original memory 16M - I added 32M - The Compaq setup program (DOSish) saw 48M - The Compaq test/diagnostics (DOSish) said all 48M is error free. - when I look at the boot records in /var/log/messages I see a line that says real memory = 16777216 (16384K Bytes) shouldn't I see something like (49152K Bytes)? What I don't know: - What do I need to do to make FreeBSD see all 48M of memory? Thanx hal
