   No code modification is required. The linker mapfile for multiboot 
needs to change:

   usr/src/psm/stand/boot/i386/common/mapfile

   As per the BIOS map of your machine the following change to the 
mapfile should
   work:
   Change this line:  multiboot = LOAD ?RWX V0x1000000 P0x1000000 A0x1000;
   to:       multiboot = LOAD ?RWX V0x40fff00 P0x40fff00 A0x1000;

   After this you will have to rerun make in 
usr/src/psm/stand/boot/i386/i86pc

   But this multiboot thing will not longer be present from B57 onwards 
because of the
   direct boot changes:

   So you can try waiting for B57 to be available and see whether that 
works for you.
