Building tiny systems with embedded NetBSD
In this article, I discuss a method for creating a small operating system based on NetBSD. If you are interested in making small computers and other embedded devices, check it out. I got a basic multiuser system crammed down onto a 1.4MB floppy. If you don't need multiuser, you can save even more by building an OS that has only a kernel, a shell, and some basic tools for around 850kB. Not too bad for a full fledged unix clone.
