I just can tell you what works with Windows NT. You have to start WinNT 
with the option to use only 64 MB.
So WinNT takes the first 64 MB and this is the cached area. Then you can 
use ramdisknt and tell it to take the rest of the memory.
I don't know how to handle this under linux, but AFAIK there is a 
loadlin option to tell linux the available ramsize.
Maybe this helps.
Is there anyone here who knows about that ?
