only 3 of 4GB memory available on amd64 8.1-RC1

This is likely related to shared memory for your video card. Often you can
turn down how much it gets from the BIOS.

Hi all,

I got my hands on a t60 with 4GB of RAM (BIOS displays it)

And I installed 8.1-RC1 on it:

FreeBSD 8.1-RC1 #0: Mon Jun 14 13:40:28 UTC 2010

Do I need to configure something special to get the full 4GB of memory?

I only found the PAE hint, but this is for x86 machines, right?

Thanks for any hint.
Andreas
