Re: FreeBSD Server Settings Consult
This is a 64-bit platform... Any reasons you're on an i386 kernel? At the least it would fix your RAM issue. -Patrick On May 3, 2008, at 3:56 PM, "Free BSD" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: 4 GB physical ram but only 3GB usable via System.

Well from bad experience that goes no where, due-to rare issue and no supporting logs/core dumps...
