SeaBIOS requires a minimum of 1Meg of ram. I didn't even know one
could request less than 1meg of ram from QEMU.
I'll cook up a QEMU patch to give it at least that much.
But QEMU may use other firmware/payload than SeaBIOS which might
require less than 1 MB

Ok, so there's only a hypothesis.
But I believe QEMU does have the functionality to load an arbitrary
firmware. So the firmware doesn't necessarily have to be SeaBIOS.
As you may know the 8086 reset vector is at 1MB-16 so it will be
really difficult to run a

Some machines also have broken memory modules.
So some computers have 0 byte RAM in that case. :D

Don't know if its possible to make QEMU use an UEFI or OpenFirmware
image instead, or if such an image exists.
