I'd start with Bering (2.4 kernel) or Dachstein (2.2 kernel).  Can be 
configured to boot from pretty much anything, from a single floppy to 
HDD, CD-ROM, CF-Cards, even USB flash drives (if the BIOS supports it!).

Throw some storage and a couple of nic's in an old system, and you've 
got a firewall.
