I'm running FreeBSD on a Compaq server and although the server has 32
megs of memory, FreeBSD only sees the first 16 megs.
Is there a way that I can force FreeBSD to accept that the machine
actually has 32 megs? Compaqs have slightly strange BIOS's and this was a
problem under Linux on this machine, but it was a simple parameter
attached to the kernel and all was well.
