I can help you get a kernel if you wish. Let me know what kind
of hardware is in the box.
e.g.
386 (with or without FPU)
486SX/DX
BUS (ISA or ISA/EISA)
IDE drive(s)
floppy drive(s)
MSDOS filesystem
CD9660 filesystem
Any network card
etc..
I'll try to build a small kernel (just for fun) and see what can actually
boot in 3MB. (by hard-coding the memory in the kernel config)
My guess is no networking, etc.
