Is this a very > strange install bug? Or am I simply doing something wrong? FreeBSD requires more than 8 MB RAM to install nowadays. This was not introduced with 4.4 but rather with 3.4 (or possibly 3.3). I believe the minimum is 12 or 16 MB RAM to install. Note that you can run FreeBSD with only 8MB RAM, just not install. > > I will leave the machine as is until I can figure out what happened. > Truthfully, there is little reason for me to be running 4.4 on this machine > instead of 4.3.
