Tricky to do.. since it won't boot

Its an Acorn A7000 with 132MB RAM, IDE disk IDE DVD ROM and the usual network module
Original firmware, usual !BOOT
>Description:
All the early install stages work until we get to clicking on the InstKern, at which point it bombs out claiming there isn't enough memory. If I bump the Wimpslot where the comment says it won't work if it's not sufficient that doesn't help, and the only change in behaviour if I keep increasing it is that instead of it complaining there isn't enough memory the desktop instead says there isn't enough room to ru the application
>How-To-Repeat:
Install 7.1.2 on an A7000 ?
>Fix:
Not known
