You'll also need a bootloader that can read from the onboard flash and a kernel that together take under 1MB, or a bootloader that speaks USB/umass or ethernet. 32MB RAM is also quite a restriction. If you don't want to modify OpenBSD then PC Engines alix is about the closest thing (it's a little way off this in terms of size/power/price, but not hugely so, and it's much more useful).
