I think something like 40 megs or so.  Depends on what you want to do 
with it.  A basic BSD UNIX system without X can survive on a pretty small 
partition/disk.

I had to redo my whole system due to a work related project that requires 
me to work in dos/windows... :(

I allocated 200 MB for Dos/Windows and 300MB for FreeBSD/X
I then use OS-BS to boot whichever one I need to work under.  

I still have to install the bindist, srcdist, and secrdist tomorrow---it 
will take all night to download those beasts! ;)
