I don't have a Plan 9 system or a bitsy at hand but I remember
running into this. The hard coded partition definition is fparts in
/sys/src/9/boot/paq.c. The ramdisk partition is defined to be 4 MB although the
various documents imply it should be 6 MB.
I recall simply changing the ramdisk entry to,
"add ramdisk 0x0200000 0x0800000",
allowed me to use larger images.
Hope this helps,
eoghan
