From memory I believe it's at 15MB. Some BIOSs (eg.mine) allow you to leave a "hole" in main memory so the linear mapping can work. Check this. Also newer versions of univbe (perhaps even your version) allow you to turn LFB off. Of course this isn't a solution if you're relying on the LFB on being available.
