I have played booting the 2.0 i386 "tiny" bootfloppy in various low memory 
configurations, and aparently it needs at least 5MB to get to sysinst. 
With 4MB it says "out of memory" (or so) and hangs.

Will "blist" help with that?

(Testing is easy: do a "build.sh release" and boot the boot-tiny.fs with 
"qemu -m 4" and see what happens :)
