See previous email, where I mentioned this happens too late in the boot process. This *would* cause the next bootup to have the smaller amount *IF* this information was saved, but on the boo floppy it is not. However, this does not help on the boot floppy, since it's going to use the probed amount. (And yes, I have verified that this is indeed the case on my ThinkPad, and attempted the exact same thing Rod mentioned above.)
