just for sure - after installation is still 4GB detected (with generic 
kernel) or 9?

Hi all,

I am just trying to install FreeBSD 7.1 amd64 distro on the HP ML 150 G5
server and when booting, BIOS detects 9 GB of RAM, but when starting to
install the system it is displayed that only 4 GBs are detected. Also the
default swap partition size is 4 GB ... What would be the needed steps to
enable FreeBSD using the entire memory in the machine?

Thank you in advance for your time,
Matej

It must be an amd64 kernel, otherwise it would not be
usable for fixit things.  Also, I don't see any specific
exceptions concerning kernels for amd64 in the release
build scripts (/usr/src/release).
