In all fairness, I think tiny in this case refers to the fact that the OS is only 200kb. From the openBSD install guide:

OpenBSD can be installed in as little as 512MB, but using that small of a device is something for advanced users.

It might say that, but to be honest I had no difficulties installing on my box with 32 MB RAM. I didn't even have to do anything special; I just followed the normal installation procedure. It's not blazing fast by any means, but it does boot and it does work :)

Disk size, not RAM. How large a hard drive are you using?

Ah. The HDD has 4 GB. This thing was top-of-the-line back in '98 when it was purchased ;)
