Well, it all depends on your definition of "barebones."  Using a
busybox[1] only system with minimal utilities, you can easily get
under 1Mb.  The question remains whether that is enough to be useful
for your design.

I often use a minimal busybox as an initramfs for booting systems with
no (working) storage.
