Its done automatically.

For your purposes they are.

Okay...

Could I suggest that before debugging this deeply that you try moving
to -current rather than having us try to debug it on 1.2C, since thats
getting a bit old at this point.

Anyway, I would first try -current with BIOSEXTMEM set "properly", and
if that doesn't work try setting BIOSEXTMEM to indicate 64M of memory,
and see if that works, and then set it to something intermediate, like
96M, and see if that works, and then come back with a report...
