I can't seem to get the LASTDRIVE= parameter in my CONFIG.SYS file to be
recognized.  I'm running DOS 4.01 on a 486.  I'm hooked via thin ethernet
to a Sun and use PC-NFS 3.0.1.  

I'm using QEMM's Manifest program to try and "tune" my PC.  It tells me
66 KB of RAM is in use by drives D through V.  I'm trying to reclaim  some
of that 66KB by setting my LASTDRIVE parameter to LASTDRIVE=M (hoping to
get back some RAM not used by drives N-V).  But, after I change LASTDRIVE
and reboot my PC, Manifest still reports 66KB in use by drives D-V.  Is this
failure to recognize the LASTDRIVE setting caused by NFS?  Is there a way
around it?  Thanks in advance.
