FreeBSD for the i386 requires a 486 or better processor and at least 24 MB
of RAM.

7.2.1.1.1. Memory Requirements
This section lists the memory required to install Fedora Core 5 test2.
This list is for 32-bit x86 systems:
-
Minimum for text-mode: 64MB
-
Minimum for graphical: 192MB
-
Recommended for graphical: 256MB
With only 256MB total of memory, you going to be pushing it :)
If you only allocate 24MB to freebsd, I can't begin to imagine how bad its
going to run either.
in each case, i gonna run everything (dom0 and all domU) in text mode, i
do not want to spend cpu-time on gui-issues...so my hope is to give dom0
128 mb and 64 mb rams....perhaps if i sing loud enough, i get the money
for further ram :-) at least 128mb ram per each would be enough.
btw. freebsd will run nothing else than a jabber-server with 50
users...and for a pure linux-firewall, i think 64 megs are enough...
