There are better ways to achieve that, but you can use:
set hw.physmem=<value> MAXMEM (i386 only)
Limits the amount of physical memory space available to
the system to <value> bytes. <value> may have a k, M or G
suffix to indicate kilobytes, megabytes and gigabytes
respectively. Note that the current i386 architecture
limits this value to 4GB.
On systems where memory cannot be accurately probed,
this option provides a hint as to the actual size of
system memory (which will be tested before use).
