System hangs when starting sysinstall :(

On system with 8Mb of memory, when starting /stand/sysinstall happens
restart.



There is piece of install.txt:

============================================================

1.2 Hardware Requirements

FreeBSD for the i386 requires a 386 or better processor to run (sorry,

there is no support for 286 processors) and at least 5 megs of RAM to

install and 4 megs of RAM to run.

============================================================

So, it must work on system with 16Mb of memory!



That's my configuration:

CPU i486DX4-100 on SIS motherboard

RAM 16Mb

HDD 4Gb

no other devices installed



Anybody has such trouble?
