Because, like the software creation, the responses on the questions
list are done by volunteers.   You happened to get one who seemed
to need to respond, but didn't have any information to respond with.

You will probably also get some more useful responses.  (Sorry, I 
don't know much about nano, tiny or pico BSD except that those  words
tend to be used to imply very small)

Of course, you could try to experiment.  You could try dual-booting
the machine you have and put those on the other part.
