Well.. considering their requirements:
# 32-bit 1GHz or higher performance processor*
# 512MB or higher of RAM
# 512MB disk space for memory swap area
# 1GB disk space for Openfiler OS installation
# 100MB Ethernet network interface
# Separate storage volumes/disks for data export

It sounds like you shouldn't even be trying to run it. ;)
OpenFiler is NOT a small little samba-like app. It's a beast that does a LOT 
more than juse basic NAS and SAN man.
