8.0-BETA2 not getting my 4Gigs of ram

2009-08-13 Thread Mark Stapper
Hello,

I'm fully enjoying installing FreeBSD 8.0-BETA2 amd64.
However, it does not seem to be able to use all my ram.
Strangely enough, it says the following:
[r...@carmen ~]# dmesg |grep memory
real memory  = 2147483648 (2048 MB)
avail memory = 4112240640 (3921 MB)

and
[r...@carmen ~]# sysctl -a|grep mem
[/snip]
hw.physmem: 4277510144
hw.usermem: 3954216960
hw.realmem: 4831838208
[/snip]

I'm still on a fresh install with a generic kernel.
Any ideas as to what might be going on?
greetz,
Mark

 need to enable PAE mode in the kernel

Not for amd64.

Mark,

What is the output of 'uname -a'?
