However, when I try the 6.1-release CD (CD1), it boots as far as
loading the kernel, botting the kernel, and then reboots again??
The CD-ROMs create a RAMdisk and need a minimum of 24MB last I checked.
Once you have FreeBSD installed, it will limp along in 16MB (though
not very happily). I strongly suggest you find a SODIMM to expand it.
A friend of mine installed 6.1 successfully on a pentium with 48MB ram. It
runs quite well actually :) He didn't try to to install X however.
