The only ready distributions that can run on such machine are
Small Linux (http://smalllinux.netpedia.net/) and ELKS.

But I do not think they support your flash disk. (may be serial console too)
You need to get a driver for it somewhere, or write it on your own.
(as for serial console, there are ready patches)

Anyway, for 2 mb of ram you will need to make everything by hand.
(kernel, scripts, programs, etc.)

Also, such machine hardly will work interactively.. it will be able to run
only one login at a time.

without kernel changes - no.
