I hard coded the 90MB in target/initrd/target_skeleton/linuxrc.  By 
default otherwise it uses 50% of the available ram (which is not 
desirable).  Most images should be well under that limit anyway.  (an 
image I built a few weeks back that has gsm, ulaw AND g729 core sounds 
is 56MB).

Long-term, the asturw and astkd variables will both be set to auto by 
default and rely on file system labels to identify the correct partition.
