I keep comming across jobs where they have some special need that either are
VERY cost prohibative or there are no real solutions available where I think to
myself, "Hey! NetBSD can do that."

Has anyone run across a small computer (Intel/AMD or other) based computer that
can boot off a PCMICIA memeory card?  I work with Bay and Cisco all the time and
that PCMICIA boot it the best!  Not HD to die, low power, etc.

I could build a small bootable kernel with a core number of tools (like the
install Kernel) and configureations and be done with it.   Of course I'ld have
to have PCMICIA in the kernel, if I ever wanted to talk to the memory card; like
if I wanted to mount /etc latter from the card (just thinking...).

Kind of take me back a few years, when a few people were considering porting
NetBSD to a Cisco router (680x0 base model).

Ideas?
