Author: sevan Date: Sun Oct 2 14:15:50 2016 New Revision: 49447 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/49447 Log: Increase minimum RAM requirement for installation to 96MB. On 9.3 & 10.3 (both amd64 builds) whilst the kernel boots & installer runs with such an amount, the installer fails when attempting to extract a set. On 11 it's not actually possible to boot the kernel with less than 96MB (amd64) or 92MB (i386). Tested using VirtualBox not actual hardware.
