I have Compaq Proliant 1500. I was installed FreeBSD on It. I have 128MG operating memory, but system is find only 16MG. I have such trouble with linux RedHat 7.3. I boot the kernel with next parametrs: mem=exactmap mem=640K@0 mem=127M@1M. After this the Linux find all memory. How i can do it in FreeBSD ?
 
Hmm...I think you got a bad memory stick or something. Try changing it. I have FreeBSD running on production servers with more than 1G RAM, and all the way down to a laptop with less than 64MB RAM. All of them run great. Hope I was of some help...

Thanks for the help...

Some systems have BIOSes that don't report memory correctly; there is an option (where, I don't remember) that will force the OS to use all memory. I'm pretty sure it's in the FreeBSD FAQ.
