The only problem with not making the memory autoconfig would be when using it
(or wanting to use it) with disks that need to be booted where you can't
change the startup-sequence to allow the running of an addmem type program.
If you autoconfig it, this problem should never occur, and if you need to 
disable the memory, you can just boot-up with KS1.1, thus avoiding the 
autoconfiguration process.  That is of cours, assuming you don't put the
kickstart in ROM, something I would avoid because of this kickstart
switching routine which I have found quite handy.

Keep up the great work, though Brad!
