Good question. I’m trying to figure this out right now. I’ll see
if there’s a way to make it work when the BIOS is not at c0000, like
it is on almost every other PC ever built.
I think you were lucky though, we have a Toshiba laptop here, which,
even though the BIOS is set for C000, still had other problems, some
of which we have been able to fix.
There was one problem, in particular, which only showed up if
you booted off a windows parition.
Did you install in a Windows, or in a standalone partition?

Hi,
The installation was a standalone partition … Anyway Photon is a bit
slow using C000h or maybe it’s because of my chipset.
