It does really matters what do you mean by "embedded system". I
suppose you're interested in the form factor of i386 computers.

I have experience running FreeBSD (4-STABLE and up) on VIA embedded
main boards. More info:

I also think you'll find the following links interesting:

Lots of hardware to choose from, different form factors, on board i/o
ports, etc ...
