You can use RAM > 128MB by building custom kernel from your own
kernel config file including a line like this:

options   BUFPAGES=1024

Note that before you build and install it, you must remove some
DIMM(s) from your machine to it's RAM < 128MB.

I had same problem on my machine and now it's happy with 160MB which
is max RAM of it.

NetBSD/macppc FAQ page also helps.
