I have run it on a 486/33, and it is slow, but usable.

All the other machines you list have small ram footprints.
The machine in question has 64M ram, which puts it ahead of
most of the herd, albeit only at 33mhx.  It runs FreeBSD quite
comfortably.

I still run a 386BSD-0.1 on a low end 386, now and then, and AIX-1.1
on a 16mhz ps2/70 with 2mb ram.  Now THAT is slow.  The 386BSD is
actually quite zippy.
