Generally when you install DOS5.0 it self configures the config file something
like this:

device=himem.sys
dos=high
files=10

Usually the himem.sys file will make all memory above the first 1 meg XMS. You
should have more than a meg xms / extended when yu type 'mem'. I have tried this
on several different 286 machines and it works. The board should be setup as
extended.
hope it helps,
