> I'm wondering the smartest way to install FreeBSD on my 386, to be able

You can run FreeBSD on that system. You cannot install it using
the standard tools. To install, temporarily move the hard disk to
another machine which has more memory and do the install there.
You will also want to build a custom kernel, one with the absolute
minimum in it, all this done on the other box. Once all that is
done, you can move the hard disk back to your 386.

It'll probably run very slowly no matter what you do.  A 386SX
isn't terribly fast and you'll be swapping any time you try to do
much of anything.
