	+ Causes

	+ .SS \fL*norealmode=\fP
	+ The kernel switches the processor to 16-bit real mode 
	+ to run BIOS interrupts, for example to find the memory map or to enable VESA. 
	+ This variable disables such switches.
	+ .SS \fL*noe820scan=\fP
	+ When available, the kernel uses the BIOS E820 memory map
	+ to size memory.  This variable disables the scan.
	  .SS \fL*maxmem=value\fP
	  This defines the maximum physical address that the system will scan when sizing memory.
	  By default the operating system will scan up to 768 megabytes, but setting

	  .B *maxmem
	  must be less than 1.75 gigabytes.
	+ This variable is not consulted if using the E820 memory map.

	  This defines what percentage of available memory is reserved for the kernel allocation pool.
