Recompiling the FreeBSD kernel with PAE support

Please follow the steps to recompile the Freebsd with PAE support.

1. Edit the file named after the hostname in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf and remove “include GENERIC” and put “include PAE”

2. Rebuild/install it by going to /usr/src and typing “make buildkernel KERNCONF=whatever that file is called && make installkernel KERNCONF=whatever that file is called” ( substituting for the actual filename)

3 Reboot the server to make effect.
