>Description:

	given 1.6L-era biosboot.sym, we get:

		total memory = 66108 KB

	given -current biosboot.sym, we get:

		total memory = 635 MB

	this machine is one of this funky video-steals-from-system-ram,
	and has the same "total memory" for 128MB or 128+512MB ram,
	with 4MB given to video.


>How-To-Repeat:
	
	install -current bootblocks and not get much ram.
