It isn't changable at the point I know how much memory there is.
There is a boot: prompt parameter you have to enter in order to go over
4096K, um, the default is:
boot: zImage ramdisk_size=4096
It is so that your ramdisk doesn't eat all your real memory. Just put in:
boot: zImage ramdisk_size=16384
and it should give you what you want.

I usually back up the whole image including drivers under tomsrtbt, and
also the output of fdisk -l, and also the first 512 or 1024 bytes of any
bootable disks or partitions. I _never_ depend on the people who are
supposed to support it...
