Re: Preserving memory...

First, is there a way to tell powerpc hardware (Macs in particular -- for
now) to preserve memory across a system restart?  It looks like it does this
by default, partially.

Secondly, if I can get the first part to work reliably, does anyone know
what regions of memory should be avoided, i.e. are thrashed by OF etc?

At least on the LongTrail, all memory is cleared by OF (at least it looks like
that).

The macs have the OF #MEGS variable - so you should be able to control it -
it seems to work on the 9500.

I think that the trashed area is from the start.
