use PAE or (even better) 64-bit kernel

on the same machine sees all 3GB.

My dmesg can be found at http://www.smart-serv.net/~jeremy/dmesg.txt

Any suggestions on what could be the cause of this would be greatly
appreciated.

I attempted PAE but it panics with some modules I require. And I would 
gladly go to 64bit if I didnt need the nvidia drivers.
But there is no reason the kernel should see less then 3GB when x86 can 
handle up to 4. Bit confused on this.

You could try putting:

hw.physmem=2951045120

in /boot/loader.conf

K8N-VM CSM not seeing over 2240MB RAM

I have been trying to trouble shoot a problem where my 32bit kernel will
not see past 2240MB of RAM where as the BIOS reports it as 3GB. Windows
on the same machine sees all 3GB.
