Yes, RedBoot tells Linux how much RAM is available.
You can try rebuilding RedBoot to tell it you have 64MB. You'll
have to edit:
ecos/packages/hal/arm/sa11x0/ipaq/current/include/pkgconf/mlt_arm_sa11x0_ipaq_rom.h
ecos/packages/hal/arm/sa11x0/ipaq/current/include/pkgconf/mlt_arm_sa11x0_ipaq_rom.ldi
(the changes should be obvious and are left to the reader :-)
Note: I'd probably try this by building a RAM RedBoot first and make
sure everything is kosher and then switch to ROM. Of course, you'll
end up editing the mlt...rom.* files.
