386 bios/memory allocation

[Greg Hackney]

I could use some advice on a 386 PC question...

Mine has a Phoenix brand bios chip. When it boots up,
the system reserves 384K of memory for optionally
downloading bios and ega (via DOS software) into ram
for greater speed.

I wnat to use that 384K for MicroPort Unix. Is there a
way to do it? Is the allocation done by the bios chip,
and can it be defeated by another bios chip, or is
it system dependent. BTW, it is a Suntek-386, which
probably nobody ever heard of.

Thanks in advance.
