Actually, I'm using MINIX 1.3 and the USER_GUIDE file gives information on
how to use that memory. Try to read that file.

Anyway here is the idea:

If your RAM DISK is bigger than 256K (for example 384 K) it will be loaded
outside the 640K space. Besides you can have it in a hard disk and the loading
time will be shorter.
