Abstract
A method for managing use of a fixed memory space of a computer system is provided.

The method also includes executing code in the swappable portion of the fixed memory space. The method further includes loading additional code needed to initialize the controllers from an external memory chip to the fixed memory space where the additional code is executed to complete initialization of the controllers of the computer system.
