Well, I just couldn't wait, so I canabalized another computer and foud a 256M DIMM.
Funny thing was, the
high profile, single sided stick that was in the snap was a 128! (only saw 64 though). Someone must have tried to upgrade it and failed... but I digress
FSCK went ok, and it fixed a few things. It took a little over an hour. It's rebuilding the backup disk now (3%).
So add this to the knowledge base:
4000 series
OS: 4.0.860
HW 2.0.1
BIOS 2.0.282
Needs more than 64M to rebuild. 256M works. The error was:
File System Check : FSCK fatal error = 8
File System Check : Failed to allocate 10930276 bytes for update bitmap!!!
I don't know if I should be doing this, but while it's rebuilding, I started copying the rest of the 200Gb to it.
