Yes, more ram is req'd. The install required 5mb to install. You may be better off installing on another machine. then swapping the disks. A custom kernel should be done for that machine, and that would be frustrating on that machine. moer reasons for disk - swapping. Get as much memory as you can. if it has 32pin ram, it's getting beyond usefullness. Certainly don't make that machine your first experience in freeBSD! --- Ian Barnes <ian@cerebellum.za.net> wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to setup a 486 DX2 80 with 4meg ram as a > gateway to the net. > Since it is so old, i cannot boot from the cd.
