Karl,
Use your favorite editor; in /etc/lilo.conf put this line at the bottom
of the linux kernel stanza:
append="mem=128M"
Some folks advocate using only 127M, but I can't comment on that.
Then, run /sbin/lilo to rebuild lilo. For the change to take effect,
shutdown -r now and reboot into linux. When you do free you'll see all of
your RAM there.
