Description kositsyn 2000-09-04 14:30:01 UTC

When booting from installation diskettes ACER BIOS shows following:
Base Memory      :    640 KB
Extended Memory  :  56320 KB
while BTX loader shows another picture:
BIOS 639kB/1070100kB available memory
And when the loader starts kernel PC's screen flashes several times and machine reboots. While the screen is flashing I can see a part of 'To many holes at ... memory' message.
My older FreeBSD boot loader shows following and everything worked well

Fix: 

Nope :(
How-To-Repeat: Every try to install the system.

Is this still an issue with a recent release >= 4.6?
