ECC status in FreeBSD

I'm getting ready to build some (hopefully) high reliability servers with ECC memory. I'd like to put FreeBSD on them. What facilities (if any) does FreeBSD have for: 1) Reporting the status of ECC memory (errors corrected, errors uncorrected, etc.)? 2) Responding to uncorrectable errors? 3)

I installed 5.3 on a Dell Inspiron 8200 (and am thoroughly pleased). Can I change / remove the boot loader now, after I've done all this? I would basically like to get rid of it, so that it just boots into FreeBSD. There are no other OSs on here. ___

Ahoy. I'm trying to install FreeBSD on a 486 to use as a router. The BIOS has a 2 gig limitation for hard drive, which is apparent because it automatically detects my 13 gig drive as a 2 gig. So after installing the base system and rebooting, it says it cannot find the kernel. I know what you're
