Due to some of the e-mail I have received, let me restate the question:

I have a 386sx system that uses AMI's bios.  I have been playing
with the setup program for the past month trying to figure out how
to reclaim the memory between 640K and 1024K for use as extended memory.
I am looking for a solution as to how to either (a) reclaim the memory
to use as extended memory or (b) re-map some portion of the memory so
that I can have the whole 2 meg available to run Unix in.  I understand
shadow ram, I just don't need it.

If I cannot, but some other vendor's bios would allow me to do this, well,
that would be okay, too, but I'm not holding my breath.

Again, thanks in advance.
