While I was reading that slashdot thread of people reminiscing about Linux in the late 1990's (http://linux.slashdot.org/story/11/03/03/006250/Reminiscing-Old-School-Linux ), I found mention of this gem... spkdoom.
It's 2.7MB compressed, and setup as a UMS-DOS filesystem. I know with it being Linux 2.0.33 makes it a tad stale, but it does perhaps give some hope for running a super minimal Linux system to run SIMH. While the idea of a FAT drive may be a hindrance, perhaps the latter versions support FAT-32? Maybe even NTFS? The whole thing is based off of Xdenu, which was some super minimal thing at the time to make a simple X terminal... so networking is in there. Anyways for those interested you can download it here: http://www.gamers.org/pub/idgames/utils/misc/spkdoom.zip This may be another way to a minimal 'bare iron' type of thing.
