No special settings about memory hole.
32 MB of ram.

From start up screen:
CPU: 166 Mhz Pentium
System Rom F139-FFFF
Ram 640 Kb
Extended Ram: 31744 Kb
Shadow 384 Kb
Cache 256 Kb

Since booting with boot1.fs and boot2.fs resulted in a reboot 3 seconds after
the Number=0x53c698 message appeared, I tried boot-tiny and boot-small.
When I booted with the boot-tiny and boot-small floppy images, the following
was display (hand copied so not exact):
autobuild@tgm.daemon.org  Sun Sep 8 19:22:13 UTC 2002
Memory 638/31744 k
Warning: Can't allocate memory segment 0x100000/0xf00000/0x1 from IOMEM Extent map.
Panic: uvm_page_physload: start >= end
Operating system has halted.
