Re: memory above 4Gb ignored
you might check your bios settings for some weird memory reallocation but otherwise file a PR on this.

Re: memory above 4Gb ignored
I do not see any reference to resolving the 786432K of memory above 4Gb ignored anywhere in Google or otherwise. Are you running the i386 version of 6.2-RELEASE? If so, you will need to enable PAE (recompile the kernel with options PAE), or install the amd64 version of 6.2 instead. Note that there is a performance hit with PAE and other downsides, so you should probably go for the amd64 version for optimal performance.
