How do you remap memory on a 386 ?

Hi,
	I've just bought a 386 machine with 1Mb RAM and intend to run UNIX on it. 
	One thing strikes me as odd -  only 640kb of memory is visible.
	I have turned off shadowing so it's not that problem.
	The machine has Phoenix bios and is highly configurable. 
	The question is: Can you map the 384kb between 640kb and 1024kb to start
	at an address above 1024kb ?

	ie on system start up you get:
	Base memory 640kb Extended memory 384kb

	BTW it is a C&T chipset based machine @ 20MHz.

				Thanks in advance
