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
