I have another idea.. install from Wilko's mininst CDROM. Alpha now (after 4.4-RELEASE) has support for setting hw.physmem to limit the amount of memory freebsd uses (settable from the boot loader). Try setting it to 32M & see if you make it through the install. If 32M are bad, the odds are good they're not in the 32MB you're going to use..
