The BE-300 has its own Funky shell that isn't the same as the WinCE
shell.  However, you can get to a report of the memory usage by
Settings->Memory, but I see no way to reserve one vs the other.
However, you might try terminating all tasks.

I've not tried to boot NetBSD on my BE-300.

This won't work for the BE-300.
