For minimal h/w requirement I knew is 386 / 4 Megs RAM / 50 Megs HDD. [...] Actually, as can be seen in http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install-hw.html, those minimum specs have been bumped to 8 megs of RAM. I actually tried, and succeeded to install FreeBSD 4.2 Release via CD-ROM on an 8 meg 486, but I had to pull quite a few tricks in order to do so (like disconnecting everything from the IDE Bus and only enabling the primary IDE controller in the boot-time kernel configuration). I expect 4.3 and 5 to be in demand for at least 12 megs for a succesful install from CD-ROM. So, while being at it: Could anyone suggest a procedure to create a swap partition and enabling it _before_ running the major part of sysinst?
