I'm a newbie trying to install the 4.2-RELEASE version of FreeBSD onto a 60mhz pentium with 8mb of ram. I'm booting up from floppies. During the installation (usually around the "Choose Distributions" screen) the system will hang and leave me with a blank blue screen. If I press ALT-F2 at this point, I see a screen being flooded with the message pid 12 (sh), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Is there some way for me to work around this problem so that I can finish the installation?
