I have a home-made RAM board that I want to add to my Amiga.  Before I
add the auto-config stuff to the board, I want to try it out and see how
it works.  Thus, does anyone know how to add a known chunk of
fixed-address memory to the system free list?  I know that there is an
AddFreeList routine that will do this, but you need to provide it with
the free list!  How do I find out where the system free list resides?

Is this too much trouble?  Should I just wait until I make the board
auto-config?  There's gotta be a simple routine to do this, right?
