I found the following section of code back in patch-2.1.21:

output_data = (char *)0x100000; /* Points to 1M */
}

Can someone change the "<2M of mem" to "Less than 2MB of memory."? The
former error message is somewhat annoying to new users who wish
to run Linux on their old 386/16 with 1MB of RAM.

"<2M of mem? What THE...... No thanks, I'll take Windows! At least
it's easier to understand" :*)
