"Cannot fork" is what happens if memory is low. Sorry. Cannot run on
your machine. Old releases of mu was less RAM demanding. In recent releases,
I never test MU on 386/4M

You have only 3M free :-(
If your muLinux run in another PC, I suggest you to clone in UMSDOS.
Then, from DOS, pack the c:\linux directory with PKZIP; use multi-floppy
feature of pkzip and transport the floppy disks on the destination
machine.
A this point, edit loadling.cfg and change the reference to partition.
