Increasing memory on a FreeBSD 4.3

2003-07-02 Thread Sorin Chiorean 
I have increased memory on my FreeBSD from 128 Mb to 384 Mb.
 
I have a MAXMEM option in the Kernel configuration file :
# Machine Information
machine i386
cpu I686_CPU
ident   test
maxusers32
options MAXMEM=131072


How can I avoid to rebuild the kernel and to use all memory ?

 

Thanks.
Sorin

Edit /boot/loader.conf and add a line like this:

hw.physmem=384M

That will override the kernel MAXMEM value.

I don't believe you can - typically you don't need to hardcode MAXMEM
in the kernel configuration anyway, because FreeBSD will autodetect.
