- Not only do you need to REGISTER MEMORY but you need to do it before
- loading any disk drivers (undocumented part of the command)! FYI.P.4044
- in the Novell Support Encyclopedia outlines one way to do it. I create
- c:\autoexec.ncf which combines c:\startup.ncf and sys:system\autoexec.ncf.
- [This is not an issue in machines such as SystemPro, PS/2-90, PS/2-95
- which see all the RAM at boot]
