We call ours simply "eBSD" -- originally a working term for "embedded
BSD", but works as a word play for "reduced FreeBSD" too... :-) 

Our build contains certain product specific modifications to the core
FreeBSD code, which might make the eBSD tag somewhat trademark-ish
though. I think we could start calling our build "Cubical eBSD" if eBSD
became the official moniker, and we moved to use the eBSD build
mechanism. (hm, that would compress to "CeBSD", as in the WinCE ilk? not
bad.)

Other ideas: how about "uBSD" (think uber)? "MiniBSD"? "TinyBSD"?
"CompactBSD" (think CompactPCI)?
