I found an interesting RTOS which could fit where Linux (uClinux) can
fit: deep embedded system (<100KB Flash,<2KB RAM).

You might also be interested in Prex:

http://prex.sourceforge.net/

It's a very elegant microkernel operating system, also BSD licensed. It's bigger than NuttX but it will (optionally) support MMU. There's a Posix layer that can be used to run userland programs complete with fork() and vfork() (hardware allowing).

I recently ported it to the Cybiko to see what it was like. The Cybiko is an H8-based device with 256kB flash and 256kB RAM; it ran fine, but the developer shell was rather too big to be useful!

It really requires a 32-bit processor, but it may be possible to wedge it into a 8088 given the right compiler in huge mode.
