Does anyone know how to access memory above 1 meg on a 386 machine???

without switching to protected mode
ie in real mode & using linear addressing (bypassing MMU).

currently im using this instruction

mov al, gs:[ebx]

ebx = 0x172000  , gs = 0
it hangs the machine...

Help!!!!
Thanks in advance...
