6.1 Stable default kernel memory

2006-11-03 Thread Don O'Neil
I have a new box that I just setup w/ 2 GB of RAM, and installed FreeBSD 6.1 stable (snapshot), with the standard kernel and when I look at the specs, it only shows 1GB of ram. Is there some sort of kernel option that needs to be set to allow the full 2 GB to show? Thanks!
