Hello,
I have finished installing FreeBSD 6.1 on an IBM PC 300PL/PII-400MHz/320MB RAM
a week ago and I realised it used the hdd alot, so I have updated the BIOS to
the latest
version updated the kernel with the latest stable version, same thing with the
world.
Finally I took a look in dmesg and saw that the kernel detects only 64MB of RAM,
how
can I debug this ? The POST is showing 320MB, in BIOS utility on System
Information
it shows 320 MB ( and yes, there are 320 MB of physical memory :) 64/128/128 ).
Any
help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
