(take from the excellent Bering Installation guide, located at http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/binstall.html)
this is in section 6.2, "Edit the syslinux.cfg file"
Other syslinux parameters:
log_size= Defines the size of the /var/log directory. Default= 2M
syst_size= Defines the size of the TMPFS filesystem. Default= 6M.
tmp_size= Defines the size of the /tmp directory. Default= remaining available memory
PKGPATH= Defines location of packages defined in the LRP= list. I.E. if they are stored on two different floppies, one will have something like:
display syslinux.dpy
timeout 0
default linux initrd=initrd.lrp log_size=4M init=/linuxrc root=/dev/ram0 boot=/dev/fd0u1680:msdos PKGPATH=/dev/fd0u1680,/dev/fd1u1680 LRP=root,etc,local,modules,pump,keyboard,libz,sshd,shorwall,dnscache,web let
In the example above packages not available on the first floppy drive (e.g. libz.lrp and sshd.lrp) will be loaded from a 1680K formatted floppy inserted in the second drive. On the top of that 4M are allocated to /var/log files.
The docs are quite good, really.

Hello,
I have an IDE drive using Bering. The system boots properly using the IDE
drive, but is still limited to a 6 MB Ramdisk. I run out of space as I'm
trying to load all of my modules.
My IDE drive has two partitions:
/dev/hda1, msdos, about 20MB
/dev/hda2, ext3, about 200MB
My machine also has 32 MB of RAM.
I would like to increase the space for runtime by doing either:
1) increase the size of the RAM disk so I can load all of my modules
2) put the / partition on /dev/hda2 (or /usr, or /var, etc).
Is there a way to do either of these? I tried changing the ROOT parameter in
the syslinux.cfg but that doesn't do it. I also tried mounting /dev/hda2 on
/ in /etc/fstab but that doesn't do it either. Anyone else know what to do?
