Not sure about that, but I would say that running LILO (as root) should
set that up. But again, I don't know for sure since I don't have GRUB.

As root, edit /etc/lilo.conf, add the line
append="512M"
to it, run lilo (or lilo -v for verbose mode), and that should do it
(once you have lilo running). In case not all memory is not seen then,
take off a few megs from the append line, RUN LILO AGAIN, and see what
happens. Sometimes system ram is used for shadow ram or additional video
memory.
Good luck
