We do run Xvesa on some rather small machines, and 640K of wasted data space seems rather excessive. > On the other hand, it is not clear to me whether 00400 through 00FFF should > be mapped private or shared, and where from. I'm afraid I won't be much help here; but if this BIOS works with it mapped from /dev/zero, I'd rather leave it like that for now. You might add some config options that change the mapping around so we can test other bioses without recompiling the server.
