There's no way you're going to be able to run BSD 2.x with only 64kb of
RAM, you need about four times that! I'm not sure how much disk is
required, but it will be measured in megabytes, so TU58s won't be
sufficient.

5th or 6th edition would be more practical on this system, though you'd
probably have to write a TU58 driver.
