Also, I belive, impossible. Please correct me if I am not understanding you: you want to allocate some memory, store some data there, reboot the machine, and be able to access your data? Wooooo. That's gonna' be one tough cookie to crack. Tell you what, why not try saving your data in a file across reboots? If you need more memory than is polite, you can always try boot-time allocation.
