Description Bill Moran 2006-03-14 21:40:16 UTC 
	non PAE kernel probes 3.5G RAM when there is 4G
        PAE kernel (or 64 bit kernel) probes 4.5G when there is 4G
	By the response from the amd64 mailing list, this deserves to be
        in the FAQ.

Fix: This is the source material I used:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-amd64/2005-August/005849.html
How-To-Repeat: 	boot some different kernels on a machine with 4G of RAM

I committed a slightly reworded version, as revision 1.781 
of the FAQ.  Thanks for taking the time to summarize the 
mailing-list posts and SGML'ifying this :)
