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.
