I have often used the mem=xxx arguments to lilo when needing to limit the amount of memory for testing purposes. Just google for limit memory and your bootloader to find the options.
Or, just don't worry about it. Even if you get bonnie to reflect real numbers, so what? In general the goal is to optimize application performance, not bonnie performance. A simple set of dd's is enough to give you a rough idea of disk performance, beyond that you really need to see how your disk is performing with your actual workload.
