I have not physically mounted one in a vehicle but I did do this type
of setup. It worked great. I would definitely suggest you use a
Compact Flash to boot from. Only the net4801 supports a hard drive
anyway. You can take a look at flashdist:

or flashboot:
http://www.mindrot.org/projects/flashboot/
Both of these projects are based on OpenBSD. They are both good
options and can give you some pointers on how to setup your system. A
GENERIC kernel works on a net4801 or net4526 but you need to compile
a kernel from flashdist for the net45xx series. I think flashboot has
pre-compiled kernels for that as well.
