I installed and already did cvsup and installed world.

make installworld somehow didn't know the paths
of the following tools: btxld, dd, cp, ls. I added full path to Makefiles.

Changed Makefiles files:

/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2/Makefile
/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/Makefile
/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/pxeldr/Makefile

Now everything seems like working fine with 4GB of RAM.
However if I use 8GB of RAM it starts not working. Some tools like netstat, 
finger, sshd is not working under 8GB RAM even
I put hw.physmem=8G in /boot/loader.conf.

Any ideas? How can I use 8GB RAM fully?

thanks,

Ganbold
