Hi I have an old HP NETSERVER PRO 2xpentium pro, 256 MB ram, and I tried to install the actual FREEBSD 6.1 there. I made 3 floppies: boot, kernel1 and kernel2. When it starts booting from the boot floppy, the loader show I only have 16 MB of RAM (instead 256MB I have there). Then it asks for kernel1 and 2 disk, and boot disk again. It gives me also the entry FREEBSD display with countdown - to choose boot type - default, no acpi, secure etc. I tried it all, but it alwaysl hangs after about 5 second after any choice. So I must just reboot. I think it is just because the lack of RAM, because, I think it requirets at least 24 MB of RAM. I have found something about this on the web, that it is necessary options "MAXMEM=n" to use all the RAM, because old BIOSes shows just first 16 MB or so, but I am just doing the installation. So how can I modify the kernel on the floppies to use such option during the installation from floppies? Or should I install from other media???Please can you help me with this??????How can I make the installation boot floppy see all the RAM I have? Thank you very much for your reply.
