unix terminal command needed...
...to check the installed memory. I know df tells you the volumes.
Here's the issue: XServ's will not boot OS 9, we need to quickly install additional ram and boot to make sure it's working fine - but we don't want to run the initial 10.2 server setup. We can boot to the 10.2 Server CD, but the only tool available is the terminal.

The RAM will be displayed along with the other 'hw' values, e.g.:
hw.machine = Power Macintosh
hw.model = PowerMac3,5
hw.ncpu = 2
hw.byteorder = 4321
hw.physmem = 1610612736
hw.usermem = 1486499840
hw.pagesize = 4096
I think because we're booting to a Mac OS 10 install CD, it doesn't have a full Kernel, and thus the top command has no processes to check. Generally, it does work.
I'll try the other command. I think the best way around this is to install a bootable OS 10.2 partition on a Firewire HD.
