You'll need at least 24 MB of RAM, according to:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/6.0-RELEASE/INSTALL.TXT

   1.2 Hardware Requirements

    FreeBSD for the i386 requires a 486 or better processor and at
    least 24 MB of RAM. You will need at least 150MB of free hard
    drive space for the most minimal installation. See below for ways
    of shrinking existing DOS partitions in order to install FreeBSD.

I remember seeing a little discussion of this on the lists earlier.
