>Description:
 I experienced similar behaviour on a Dell 2850 with:
 FreeBSD db0 6.0-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p4 #1: Wed Mar  8 17:03:02 EST 2006     root@db0:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DBSERVER  i386
 
 Building a PAE-enabled kernel seemed to help, except for some oddness:
 ...
 real memory  = 5368709120 (5120 MB)
 avail memory = 4185440256 (3991 MB)
 ...
 
 The machine actually has 4G of RAM, so I don't know where the 5G number
 is coming from - is that expected for some reason?
 
 Once the system is booted, top(1) shows 4G of RAM in use, so I believe
 the end result is correct.
 
 I'll have a test machine here for a while, so I can provide followup
 information if it will be helpful.
