    Soekris Engineering makes excellent boards. While they are based
    in the states, they do have a reseller in Europe.

    I use a bunch at work for various tasks. Very reliable hardware.
    They use various i386 compatible AMD Geode CPUs. You can give it
    whatever sized CF card you want or attach a small hard disk. Use a
    serial console to bootstrap and make sure you configure your
    FreeBSD system to use serial console. Some also have one or more
    PCI slots, useful for your GPIO/SPI interfaces.

    HTH!
