This should work:

# The following options override the memory sizes passed in from the
# boot block.  Use them *only* if the boot block is unable to determine
# the correct values.  Note that the BIOS may *correctly* report less
# than 640k of base memory if the extended BIOS data area is located at
# the top of base memory (as is the case on most recent systems).
#options        REALBASEMEM=639         # size of base memory (in KB)
#options        REALEXTMEM=15360        # size of extended memory (in KB)
