I just had a look at my boot/system map and I am pretty close to you Gene, here is my mdir:

   Module Directory at 21:20:21
REL         Boot        Krn         KrnP2       IOMan

Link        Load        Save        Unlink      MDir 

and my smap is this:

    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F
 #  = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

 0  U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U

 4  _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ U 
 5  U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U 
 6  U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U

 D  U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U

 F  U U U U U U U U U U U U U U U . 

 Number of Free Pages:  47
   RAM Free in KBytes:  11

This is at v3.3.0 right now. So we are pretty close, you have 2k more than me.  I am able to do what I need in this config.  I am though just using VCC with DW4.
