Sorry to slip in so late on this discussion.  You might want to look at 
the Soekris Engineering board/box; it should run NetBSD with no problems.  
It is known to run OpenBSD and FreeBSD.  ;^)  It is a 133 Mhz "5x86" 
design with 3x Intel EtherExpress Pro, a CF slot, a Mini-PCI slot, and a 
3.3v half-length PCI slot.  The prices are fairly good for embedded 
stuff, too.

If you want a real hard drive, you'll have to figure out how to turn the
CF slot back into an IDE bus.  That'll be fun.
