Hopefully, this is the archive, but it probably isn't up to date yet... Bounce buffers (for ISA devices that require DMA: aha, and some ethernets) don't work on large memory configurations. Simple solution is to make a boot floppy without bounce buffers, because chances are no one is going to be using old ISA junk on such systems. Long term solution is to fix bounce buffers.
