With only 3712 kB, you're definitely not going to want a ramdisk with 2000 kB free.  Try
changing it to 500 kB.

If that doesn't work you may want to try changing your target to "Read-write root on a
single partition".  This option will not use any ramdisks -- your root filesystem will be
on the hard drive, rather than in RAM.
