I'm not sure if you meant this exactly, but just to clarify:  You don't
have to use /CSBOOT with your RAM.  Just be sure to have a *.bdmmb macro
file that loads the appropriate CSOR and CSBAR registers so your
chip selects operate before the file is uploaded (that is what the *.bdmmb
file does - it runs before upload).

I have a 68333 and a 64Kx16 RAM chip and no FLASH/EPROM.  I use CS6,CS7,
and CS8 to access the RAM.
