+        <heading>I have only 4 MB of memory in this machine. Can I install FreeBSD 2.1.0 ?</heading>
+
+        <p>
+          FreeBSD 2.1.0 does not install with 4 MB.  To be exact: it does
+          not install with 640 kB base + 3 MB extended memory.  If your
+          motherboard can remap some of the ``lost'' memory out of the
+          640kB to 1MB region, then you may still be able to get FreeBSD
+          2.1.0 up.
+
+          Try to go into your BIOS setup and look for a ``remap'' option.
+          Enable it.  You may also have to disable ROM shadowing.
+
+          It may be easier to get 4 more MB just for the install. Build a
+          custom kernel with only the options you need and then get the 4
+          MB out again.
+
+          You may also install 2.0.5 and then upgrade your system to 2.1.0
+          with the ``upgrade'' option of the 2.1.0 installation program.
+
+          After the installation, if you build a custom kernel, it will run
+          in 4 MB. Someone has even succeded in booting with 2 MB (the
+          system was almost unusable though :-))

+          The panic indicates that the system ran out of virtual memory for
+          network buffers (specifically, mbuf clusters). You can increase
+          the amount of VM avaliable for mbuf clusters by adding:
+
+          <code>

+
+          ...to your kernel config file, where &lt;n&gt; is a number in the
+          range 512-4096, depending on the number of concurrent TCP
+          connections you need to support. I'd recommend trying 2048 - this
+          should get rid of the panic completely. You can monitor the
+          number of mbuf clusters allocated/in use on the system with
