Hi, I'm sorry to be a nuisance, but could the MFSROOT_LIMIT perhaps be lowered just slightly, to 80 MiB? The increase above 64 MiB was necessary because the installer (only momentarily) seems to need a little more space for some processing of debconf templates during a GUI install. The jump up to 128 MiB was a sure way to fix that, but now it seems a bit excessive. If MFSROOT_LIMIT can be lowered to 80 MiB on kfreebsd-amd64, that should lower the minimum memory requirement to 128 MiB for text installs and 192 MiB for GUI installs. That would surely then satisfy the smallest likely x86_64 systems or virtual machines. qemu-system-x86_64 has a default of 128 MiB RAM. The install guide probably needs adjusting too; the figures quoted for squeeze don't sound realistic. The available memory has to be at least the size of an uncompressed kernel image, plus the value set for MFSROOT_LIMIT, and still leave enough for the d-i userland.
