Excuse my ignorance vs. i386 details...
I have a machine (dual amd64) with 4 GB ram. I'm trying to install NetBSD/i386
on it (currently NetBSD/amd64 is installed but has ... a few problems).
When booting the kernel says
WARNING: skipping large memory map entry: 0x100000000/0x400000000/0x1
(from add_mem_cluster() in i386/machdep.c)
I don't want my memory skipped ;-)
Why is this done? Can I dump the memory map?
Thanks for hints,
Martin
