Minix on the 8086/x catastrophes forces the use of a meta-small model.
You can't change the segment registers because the system owns them.
You do get i/d space split (separate instructions and data) but the total
is < 128k.

I dunno what you do on a 68000.  Put in a mmu (about 14 chips or a 68451)
or wait for the 68030.
