I have here an old HP Omnibook 300. This wonderful machine has an 8-hour
battery life, due to its monochrome non-backlit display, 386SX processor,
and 10 MB PCMCIA flash disk card. It has 2 MB of RAM, upgradable to 4 MB.

Is it possible to create a tiny version of FreeBSD for this machine? It'd
be wonderful to have an ultra-portable, long-lived UNIX machine.
