I installed 4GB or memory today. I rebooted and see this, the first
line after the splash menu thing:

983040K of memory above 4GB ignored

dmesg shows avail mem amount and I am concerned as well:

real memory = 4294967296 (4096 MB)
avail memory = 3139940352 (2994 MB)

is a stick bad perhaps?

Start by reading

If that doesn't cover it, come back here and include a little
information about the version of FreeBSD and the hardware you're using.




I would suggest you to give us the output of uname -a

I suspect you are running the 32-bit version of FreeBSD and it cannot address more that 3 Gb of RAM.
