Hi,

The 2.0 GENERIC kernel recognises only 256MB of RAM on R12k IP32 
here:

NetBSD 2.0 (GENERIC32_IP3x) #0: Thu Dec  2 00:26:23 UTC 2004

builds@build:/big/builds/ab/netbsd-2-0-RELEASE/sgimips/200411300000Z-obx
total memory = 256 MB
(6848 KB reserved for ARCS)
avail memory = 238 MB
mainbus0 (root): SGI-IP32 [SGI, 1], 1 processor
cpu0 at mainbus0: MIPS R12000 CPU (0xe35) Rev. 3.5 with unknown FPC 
type (0x9000

When in fact the machine has 704MB, from PROM hinv:

 	Memory size: 704 Mbytes

Anyone know what that's about?

regards,
