1730 bytes

at bootup or the LILO prompt type "linux mem=howevermuchmemoryyouhave"
such as "linux mem=96M" or 96308k or whatever.... or if you really want to
you could tell it EXACTLY how many bytes there are.... but most people
don't like to type that much... but be sure you are actually getting
however much memory you tell it, because it will believe you :)

like if the BIOS shadows stuff into the higher memory, it'll eventually
crash, but you could test that by opening everything you possibly can and
checking /proc/meminfo for how high you can get
