I'm running FreeBSD 1.0.2 on a 486/66 mhz machine with an isa bus.
I just installed 24 megs of ram, but when the machine is loading I see
the message:

/386bsd: FreeBSD 1.0.2 (GENERICAH) #0: Sun Nov 14 18:22:24 PST 1993
/386bsd:   root@gndrsh.cdrom.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERICAH
/386bsd: CPU: i486DX (486-class CPU)
/386bsd: real mem  = 16773120
/386bsd: avail mem = 15200256
/386bsd: using 332 buffers containing 2723840 bytes of memory
/386bsd: Probing for devices on the ISA bus:

How can I get the kernel to recognize that I have 24 megs of ram???
