Not enough memory above 640K to run the server (requires 384K).

    Occurs on:  ND286 only.

    Meaning:  Nondedicated NetWare 286 requires more memory than the
              file server hardware has.  In the Nondedicated
              environment, the first 640KB of RAM is used for the DOS
              workstation.  The next 384KB of address space is reserved
              for adaptor cards and the ROM BIOS.  NetWare utilizes all
              RAM above 640KB (starting at the 1 megabyte boundary) for
              the file server.  The file server requires at least 384KB
              above the 1 MB boundary in order to run.  This must be
              extended memory.  Therefore, Nondedicated NetWare 286 will
              only run on a system that has at least 1 MB of system RAM
              with at least 384KB mapped above the 1 MB boundary.  This
              is considered a fatal error and the server will halt
              operation and continuously display this error message.

    Cause:  The file server does not have enough memory installed in it.
            This error could also be generated as a result of a failure
            in high memory, which would cause the file server to think
            that it has less memory installed.

    Solution:  First, check that the file server has at least 1 MB of
               system RAM correctly installed in it, with at least 384KB
               mapped above the 1 MB boundary.  If the server has plenty
               of memory installed in it and it still fails, check to
               make sure that the memory is good.
