One of the best investments you will make is just buying a bit more
RAM.  NetBSD should be able to run fine in that much memory (no
promises) as long as you avoid X.  I used to run NetBSD in 5MB (no X)
and it worked fine.  But honestly, just bite the bullet and somehow
beg, borrow, or steal enough money to get 4MB more, and you'll be a
much happier camper.
