Not Odd at all.
*0386 (and in fact AT's) use the address space from 640-1MEG as the space
for various ROMS for VGA , HD CONTROLLERS and the like.
As far as I know , there is NO way to get it into useful space.
You might as well shadow and get the speed.
ALL the UNIX systems I have installed have this problem.
