Halt On

stop for all other errors.

all other errors.

Memory
The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On Self Test) of
the BIOS.
Base Memory
The POST will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory installed in
the system. The value of the base memory is typically 512K for systems with 512K
memory installed on the SBC, or 640K for systems with 640K or more memory
installed on the SBC.
Extended Memory
The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST. This
is the amount of memory located above 1MB in the CPU's memory address map.
Other Memory
This refers to the memory located in the 640K to 1024K address space. This is
memory that can be used for different applications. DOS uses this area to load device
drivers in an effort to keep as much base memory free for application programs.
The BIOS is the most frequent user of this RAM area since this is where it shadows
RAM.
