Thanks to all who sent me messages.
I think I see where to go, should I need to turn to a FreeBSD.

Could you do the job with a stripped down system? Like freenas,
monowall, nanobsd or tinybsd. All based on the bsd system, and with a
little work you can add all the needed ports. Boot from the cd-rom,
save config to floppy or usb thumb drive, use all the harddrive for
storage.
I've been looking into this. If I could just find a boot loader that
would give a usb thumb drive boot as an option.

I have a 486 DEEP GREEN system I would like to put some version of
FreeBSD on (I have my reasons).
I have other inquiries out on this, but if I correctly recall (and
that is a real rusty recall at best), the max memory you could get
on one of these beasts was 48MB, unless they made some bigger,
recognizable, 72-pin modules.
I have 8 MB of hard drive space free for a FreeBSD partition and I
am actually running an Intel P24T Overdrive for my CPU. All work
fine on the DOS 6.2.2 partition I need to run.
Would any version of FreeBSD work with just 48MB of RAM? Or do I
need to figure out a way to get more RAM on the board, IF POSSIBLE?
Thanks.
