    I kinda doubt the amount of memory is the problem. You can boot up
 a 386 with Microport V/386 on just 1MB of memory. You can't really run
 much but it will boot. I seem to recall that way back when I tried
 booting off the boot disk on a machine with only 640K and it would just
 simply reboot itself at some point after trying to come up. I dont
 remember getting any panics.
