Maybe one of the 1.x or 2.x releases but I'd bet that you'll run into problems actually getting it to recognize hardware on that box. I have copies of every FBSD since 1.0 and even its predecessor NetBSD and remember those times as not very much fun when it came to laptops. As I recall, you needed 4 megs to get it installed in the first place, what's the possibility of adding memory?
