	This is a known solution for i386 machines and works for lilo.
I guess it should work for MILO as well.  I dont know what the linux
loader is on sparc machines is but here is what one does on i386
machines.  At boot time at the lilo: prompt type 
LILO: <image-name> mem=128M<enter>

To automate it edit your /etc/lilo.conf and in the entry for your
linux image add a line like so

append="mem=128M"

---- /etc/lilo.conf ---
boot=/dev/hda
<snip>

default=linux
image=/vmlinuz
        label=linux
        read-only
	append="mem=128M"
