I have a 486 DEEP GREEN system I would like to put some version of FreeBSD on

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.

You can find the minimum memory requirements for different versions in

Don't know about disk space though.
A friend of mine is running a 6.3-RELEASE on a pentium 133 with 48Mb RAM:
FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE-p2 #2: Sat May 10 14:13:20 EEST 2008

Mind you, since you are referring to a 486, I don't believe you will be
able to install recent releases. I have installed 4.11 on a 386 though
(with 24Mb RAM)
