IIRC you will need to increase the size of the ramdisk as well.
For most i386 systems there isn't a problem with memory size, but the
install kernel will still run in 16MB (but not 12), and install-tiny
in something quite a lot smaller.

Now that newfs will let you specify a number of inodes (instead of
relying on a %) each inode does just cost 128bytes of kernel memory....
