Better avoid DOC if possible, a "plain" flash chip is much nicer to
deal with. Generally it's possible to put at least 512kbyte (4Mbit)
on mainboards now, but some boards allow flash chips up to 2Mbyte in
size, which easily fits a kernel and a small system.

With AMD's great support I think a Geode LX board is the most
modern system you can find with LinuxBIOS that's a good fit for
an embedded system.
