:(( Well i think its your harddisc interface... but yeah i am thinking
about passing the old DRAM info too especially for this purpose. In the

Yeah ... hmm... just thinking about where to store this information...
might well be nessisary to adjust pmap.c or to mess around in autoconf
stuff... hmm... will check :))
