	Hi folx , 


the problem - Gateway 2000 P90 PCI Bustec 946 SCSI
or/and MICRON in the same config - 

====== WITH 128MB of RAM ======


Free2.0R _doesn't see the memory above 64M ....

Both systems see the memory ( check it after the start),

BIOS - Phoenix 4.04 or AMI ( I don't remember the version ).


	Heeee-e-e-e-lp me :)
	Jordan , where are you ? :))

The primitive kernel hack didn't help much  - the FreeBSD
tests the all 128Mb after start ( I subsitute the the BIOS
call the get the memory amount to some fake routine) , but
it fails later ....

I've recompiled the kernel with -DLARGEMEM


And the last question is - anyone has _working PC
with 128 of RAM under Free 2.0R ???



=========
 All other things work GREAT and amazingly fast :)
 The only problem is with that above 64M RAM ( and I really
 need it ).
