I've tried before to get past the problems with using over 16 megs of Memory on a
Compaq EISA bus machine. I followed Terry Lambert's (and a few others) suggestions on
changing the meminit routine, and although the kernel now says I have 24 meg of memory,
it then marks the memory over 16 meg as bad.
My question is, has anyone managed to get a Compaq EISA bus system to run FreeBSD with
over 16 megs of memory, and if so what model Compaq was it ? Thanks.
