I've got one or two of the older Soekris 4501's, running NetBSD 2.0 via 128MB
CF.  They booted FreeBSD 4 OK, though, and you might want to retest using 4.11
rather than 6.0 and see whether it does better for you.

Otherwise, give NetBSD a spin, it's targetted more for that type of appliance
role and is going to be tuned more reasonably for the hardware you've got.
