On two slightly different Intel 975 motherboards, I am seeing corrupt
dmesg after booting.  Each system has 2 GB and Core 2 Duo.  One has an
ATI X300 and one an Nvidia 6200.  This is with recent netbsd-4.

Setting REALEXTMEM to 1.5 GB on one system seemed to result in an
uncorrupted dmesg, but inexplicably 2G of ram was still reported.

The corrupt dmesg is filled with repeating characters; a short snippet
follows.   I'm happy to forward full dmesg if that's useful.

I saw something earlier that there was memory allocated to video that
somehow netbsd didn't find out about.  Any clues would be appreciated.
