If you have a '286 or better, and you also have extended memory, and
Minix boots in "protected" mode, and you don't use all of the extended
memory for a ramdisk,

	can Minix run processes in this extended memory?

A previous posting to this newsgroup indicated that to use extended
memory, a ramdisk should be created which was exactly the same size as
the extended memory.  However, when booting Minix, with the above
conditions holding,  Minix reported much more than 640k of available
memory.
