SR-RM>   To sum up the most important specifications of AmigaMINIX:
SR-RM> 
SR-RM> 	- AmigaMINIX boots from a normal AmigaDOS floppy (bootstrap) so
SR-RM> 	  it can easily steal (use) everything AmigaDOS knows about your
SR-RM> 	  Amiga. (Whether is's NTSC or PAL, how much memory do you have,
SR-RM> 	  what color the screen is, what keymap you use, etc.) After that
SR-RM> 	  it completely takes over your Amiga, and disables EXEC.
SR-RM> 
SR-RM> 	- You can use ALL of the available RAM which is normally available
SR-RM> 	  under AmigaDOS, even if it's fragmented.

Will it recognize memory boards that are not auto-configuring?  Will
there be a command to add this memory or will it be done on the Amiga
side before Minix takes over?
