Kickstart 2.0 has no restriction whatsoever on mixing and matching
cards.  Memory need not be in the first slot, or any specific slot.


The "kickit" program, provided to developers for beta testing 2.0, does
require a memory card in the first slot.  It loads the Kickstart there,
and manually configures it.  Once configuring a card, you can't readily
go back.
