A commit references this bug: Author: sevan Date: Sun Oct 2 14:15:50 UTC 2016 New revision: 49447 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/49447 Log: Increase minimum RAM requirement for installation to 96MB. On 9.3 & 10.3 (both amd64 builds) whilst the kernel boots & installer runs with such an amount, the installer fails when attempting to extract a set. On 11 it's not actually possible to boot the kernel with less than 96MB (amd64) or 92MB (i386). Tested using VirtualBox not actual hardware.

Created attachment 172817 [details] Bump RAM requirement The handbook mentions that a FreeBSD installation requires a minimum 64 MB of RAM. Upon on testing, I discovered that on 9.3 & 10.3 (both amd64 builds) whilst the kernel boots & installer runs with such an amount, the installer fails when attempting to extract a set. On 11-BETA1 it's not actually possible to boot the kernel with less than 96MB (amd64) or 92MB (i386). Attached patch increases the minimum RAM requirement for installation to 96MB.
