You need to edit your IP's *_hw.tcl file with a text editor. Find the section describing the Avalon Slave interface for your memory component, that should be like this: 

# 
#  connection point iname
#  
add_interface iname avalon end
(where iname is the name of your avalon interface)

And add a parameter in the list: 

set_interface_property iname isMemoryDevice true
replacing iname with the name of your interface.

Then regenerate the QSys project and recompile.
