- The BB needs addresses within the 8meg space to autoconfigure itself, this
- means that these addresses cannot be filled with memory, some space must
- be left for the BB to work in.

- This might be possible but it would be *alot* of work! The BB itself would
- need to be hacked to allow it to use your 32bit ram instead of 16bit ram.
- I don't think that would be very easy if at all possible.
