If you read http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.1R/hardware-i386.html there's nothing about the minimum amount of RAM. We should really add that information in all next release hardware notes. (It would be possible to ask the Handbook reader to just look at the hardware notes of his FreeBSD version, it's in some ways already the case: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-supported-hardware.html We will just need to add a sentence regarding the amount of necessary RAM, in fact just a link pointing to the related section of the hardware notes, this will avoid outdated information.)
