486 Install??

[Thomas F Simpson Jr]

I have a 486 DEEP GREEN system I would like to put some version of FreeBSD on (I have my reasons).

I have other inquiries out on this, but if I correctly recall (and that is a real rusty recall at best), the max memory you could get on one of these beasts was 48MB, unless they made some bigger, recognizable, 72-pin modules.

I have 8 MB of hard drive space free for a FreeBSD partition and I am actually running an Intel P24T Overdrive for my CPU. All work fine on the DOS 6.2.2 partition I need to run.

Would any version of FreeBSD work with just 48MB of RAM? Or do I need to figure out a way to get more RAM on the board, IF POSSIBLE?

Thanks.
