Probably some heuristic. When you add up all RAM reported by the BIOS you
get less than is really installed. Except on a Tyne which reports 256MB
to much ...

The "Portable bootloader standard" contains some gossip about relocation.
Maybe they're talking about PIC. Too much to ignore it and not enough to
use it ...
