Soekris Engineering makes excellent boards. While they are based
in the states, they do have a reseller in Europe.
I use a bunch at work for various tasks. Very reliable hardware.
They use various i386 compatible AMD Geode CPUs. You can give it
whatever sized CF card you want or attach a small hard disk. Use a
serial console to bootstrap and make sure you configure your
FreeBSD system to use serial console. Some also have one or more
PCI slots, useful for your GPIO/SPI interfaces.
HTH!
