That's in your kernel configuration, change that 4096 value to whatever
you like in the "Block devices" section of the kernel config. I'm not sure
weather you can adjust/choose the size of such ramdisks...

Isn't there another memory device thing introduced in recent 2.4 kernels
that is better suited to create filesystems in memory? I think I saw that
some time ago, but never tried it, only used the /dev/ram* like you to put
mp3's into RAM on my laptop :-)
