Can it be that you still use a boot floppy disk? Then the data written
by Preferences are probably stored on your HD, but are still read from
your floppy on next boot. So try to copy the file devs/system-configuration
from your HD to your boot floppy.

This perhaps depends on the sort of memory expansion you use. If this
is only Fast RAM, then you are still stuck with only 256 KB Chip RAM.
And this is indeed object to get filled fast.
