1.2 Hardware Requirements FreeBSD for the i386 requires a 486 or better processor to install and run (although FreeBSD can run on 386 processors with a custom kernel)....
Btw: The "at least 8 megs of RAM to install and 7 megs to run" needs some rather big annotations to be true and should probably be revised. The last release you could install from a CD-ROM with plain sysinstall on 8 megs of RAM was FreeBSD 4.1.1-RELEASE.
Yeah, the mfsroot requirement here along with the growing kernel size really makes it hard for the installer to work in even 16MB of RAM. I
don't see this abating anytime soon unless we go to a bare kernel +
modules approach and ditch /stand from the mfsroot (and thereby ditch
floppies). I'm just saying this matter of fact, not trying to stir a
debate. Please enjoy your turkey dinner instead today and refrain from
flaming me over floppies vs. RAM =-)
