There is no such FreeBSD released as 2.7.1.

I think you mean 2.1.7, circa February 1997.  I can't say whether it
will run in 4 Mb though.  I'd be looking at getting another laptop
personally!

I Googled and found 2.1.7.1 at the address below.  The FreeBSD web site
doesn't mention 2.1.7.1 though, only 2.1.7.

There are also several other older versions here, including 2.1.7:
