Comment(by stippi):

 If it's indeed only the last bit of RAM, there is a kernel compile time
 configuration that you can use to limit the RAM, but you have to build
 your own image:

  * Create a folder in build/ named "user_config_headers".
  * Copy the kernel_debug_config.h header from config_headers into your
 user_config_headers folder.
  * Edit the header and way at the bottom there is
 '''LIMIT_AVAILABLE_MEMORY'''. Uncomment this line and adjust the available
 memory to your needs.

 If you don't know how to build your own image and install it onto a
 partition, you should be able to search the Haiku website and follow a
 tutorial there. Hope this helps!
