Most likely the system is able to run with 12 MB, but the instalation
system has a kernel internal RAM disk. This makes the kernel quite big.
Maybe to big for 12 MB. Try netbooting the machine, this avoids the RAM
disk. That way you boot a normal GENERIC kernel with a minimal userland
on NFS. If the GENERIC kernel is still to big use NetBSDs excellent
cross compile facilities to build a custom kernel.
