189 how this configuration information is obtained by the boot loader, it

418 If bit 1 in the @samp{flags} word is set, then information on available
419 memory via at least the @samp{mem_*} fields of the Multiboot information
420 structure (@pxref{Boot information format}) must be included. If the
