have you had a look at the shutdown to dos mode? with a specified
config/autoexec, you can actually reclaim a fair chunk of memory, with about
40k being used for command.com, and without EMM386/IFSHLP.SYS and HIMEM.SYS,
you've probably got the best you're going to get with as little effort as
possible.
