Need memory at 0 on SUN

I need to run a program on a SUN3 (running SunOS 3.4) with virtual
read/write memory starting at virtual address 0. Sun (in their infinite
wisdom) has decided that memory starts at 0x2000. Accessing 0-0x1fff causes
a segmentation violation (normally I think this is a good idea, but not
this time). Does anyone know how to get this? I have already tried obvious
things like other magic numbers, telling the linker to put code at 0... I've
also tried less obvious things like mapping a part of the screen to address
0 with mmap. So far all attempts have failed and I would be grateful for any
hints. (No, we don't have the source code for SunOS 3.4, so modifying
the kernel would be difficult.)
