Maybe try the 'tiny' kernel patchset available from
http://www.selenic.com/tiny/
according to the claims of its author, a kernel patched with this can be run 
with 4 megs of memory.
If you build a custom FAI kernel: take out all the network card drivers you
know you won't need; this will save a lot of memory.
