Just to ellaborate on an otherwise correct response-

   Hardware requirements.

     FreeBSD requires a PC-type personal computer running with an Intel,
     AMD, Cyrix, or compatible 386, 486, or Pentium CPU. You computer
     needs an ISA, EISA, VESA, or PCI bus. You will also need 5
     megabytes of RAM to install FreeBSD (but 4 megabytes to run it
     after installation). For best performance, you should have 8
     megabytes or more. 60MB of disk space is required for a minimal
     installation.                                                             

Your disk is fine (albeit a little on the tiny side), but you'll need at
*LEAST* 4 mb to run FreeBSD and 5 to install.
