My PC currently has only 4 megabytes of RAM (actually, it has 640K of base memory and 3 MB of extended memory), and I want to install FreeBSD 2.1. I have determined that the boot disk tries to load the root file system into a RAM disk, and it's my guess that a lot of memory would be saved if I simply mount a floppy root disk. Is it possible to do this? Thanks.
