Add several questions including the MAXMEM kernel option, the DEC PCI card

list and the npx0 being mandatory.

Rewrite of the URL for the handbook to use the links instead of the ever
changing numbers generated by sgmlfmt.

+
+        <p>
+          You first need to edit the <tt>/etc/sysconfig</tt> in the last
+          section to change the following variable to <tt/YES/:
+          <code>
+            # Set to YES if you want ibcs2 (SCO) emulation loaded at startup
+            ibcs2=NO
+          </code>
+          It will load the <tt/ibcs2/ kernel module at startup.
+
+          You'll then need to set up /compat/ibcs2/dev to look like:
+
+          <code>
+lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel         9 Oct 15 22:20 X0R@ -> /dev/null
+lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel         7 Oct 15 22:20 nfsd@ -> socksys

+crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   41,   1 Oct 15 22:14 spx
+          </code>
+          You just need socksys to go to <tt>/dev/null</tt> to fake the
+          open &amp; close. The code in -current will handle the rest.
+          This is much cleaner than the way it was done before.  If you
+          want the <tt/spx/ driver for a local socket X connection, define
+          <tt/SPX&lowbar;HACK/ when you compile the system.

+        <heading>I have 128 MB of RAM but it seems that the system use only the first 64 MB. What's going on ?</heading>
+
+        <p>
+          Due to the manner in which FreeBSD gets the memory size from the
+          BIOS, it can only detect 16 bits worth of Kbytes in size (65535
+          Kbytes = 64MB). If you have more than 64MB, FreeBSD will only see
+          the first 64MB. To work around this problem, you need to use the
+          kernel option specified below. There is a way to get complete
+          memory information from the BIOS, but we don't have room in the
+          bootblocks to do it. Someday when lack of room in the bootblocks
+          is fixed, we'll use the extended BIOS functions to get the full
+          memory information...but for now we're stuck with the kernel
+          option.
