We're using a similar setup based on 3.3-STABLEish PicoBSD. Configuration
includes wdc support in the kernel, ed, telnetd, ftp client, and some
extras of our own, and it's running in 16MB of RAM. It's basically just a
plain ol' custom PicoBSD and it all fits on one floppy, although we're
actually booting it from compact flash (hence the wdc support, so we can
save changes to configuration). There's even room on the floppy for fsck in
case we get careless updating the flash.
