Thanks moody. It took me a while to figure it out (it's not easy to edit plan9.ini when its contents make the kernel panic!), so I'm leaving this extra info here for the next person with the same question:

The value for *maxmem (the * is important) for this machine should be the number of bytes = 1GiB + <desired memory>. So the default is 1 * GiB + 128 * MiB = 0x48000000 for 128MiB, and for 4 GiB it should be *maxmem=0x140000000.
