Even FreeBSD 11 on my atmel boards, the 32MB ones can't really do much of anything (though a custom /etc/rc.d might be usable). The 64MB ones I have troubles logging into without disabling a ton of stuff. And FreeBSD-current is even larger. Are you using a custom rc.d in this setup? > I have FWIXP422BB target(Planex BRC-14VG) with 32M of RAM.
