On Wednesday someone brought in a windozed Toshiba Satellite 2140CDS. Somehow
the boot blocks got 160Mb for it and I had to

options         REALBASEMEM=639         # size of base memory (in KB)
options         REALEXTMEM=64512        # size of extended memory (in KB)

for it. The strange thing is that on the web someone posted a dmesg for
that very model => I would assume that normally things are reported
correctly. What should I assume? Broken BIOS? Something changed in the
bootblocks since the dmesg was posted?

Cheers,
