This is most possibly fine. My laptop has *cough* 32 *cough* MB of RAM and
is reported to have only 28 MB of memory at BIOS stages (26 MB on a
previous date IIRC) because 4 MB are used for graphical acceleration (this
can be tweaked, which is not recommended). Do not treat this value as if it
is an error.
