Managed to fix it before I got any errors actually. Simple enough to
re-break it however:
FATAL: max_fsm_pages must exceed max_fsm_relations * 16
Looks like I was 60000 short on my 100000 max_fsm_pages setting for a
max_fsm_relations of 10000. Anyway, the error message was a good one, I
just couldn't get to it last night.

Sounds fair to me, IIRC:
max_connections = 100
shared_buffers = 1000
max_fsm_relations = 1000
max_fsm_pages = 20000
sort_mem = 1024
vacuum_mem = 8192
