does anyone know of anything about "embedded" (romed) UNIXs ?

i saw Linux had a project - but nothing working (ELKS) ...

is FreeBSD ROMable ?  anyone ever try it ?

or is the idea ridiculous?

or any other advice on a portable ROMable standard ?

386 CPU ok - but NO drives (moving parts) ...

no sales pitches please!

i also hear that writing device drivers can be a real pain in the butt for
UNIX (A2D cards, etc) ?  any comments ?

thanks ...
