that working with FreeBSD with 4 mega is not pleasant, but I think
that many people likes to try before upgrade.

My experience with the beta 2.1's was that the GENERIC kernel would
run fine in 4M, but the install disk will not due to the size of the
kernel + install RAM disk.  If you install from an older (2.0) install
image, you'll be OK.
