Default vm-bhyve template for #freebsd has 256MB RAM.

The installer dies silently trying to fetch pkgbase packages.

2GB works.

@mwl Is that in the release notes for FreeBSD itself?

@dexter ah, ty!

256mb might be a perfectly reasonable minimum for many cases, but I can reliably freeze the installer with that little RAM...

@mwl hrm, I know @grahamperrin noted late last year¹ that the documented minimum RAM requirements were insufficient for certain aspects. Sounds like it might be worth noting/updating the vm-bhyve template default in that bug-report²
