Haiku predecessor BeOS was present in yet even smaller version (BeIA) on embedded systems and Internet appliances [1] so kinda ahead of the times already.

- memsom 5y agoBeIA was still only x86/IA32. BeIA was very clever. It used a compressed file system and an ELF compression scheme, so in 8MB/16MB you could fit the entire OS install and still have space free... but it was not ever really embedded in the sense of running on low powered ARM or similar. There wasn't even a PowerPC/POWER port, despite BeOS originally running exclusively on PowerPC up till R3, when Intel was added.
