Maybe a /tmp, maybe a bit of space for transient logs (though a syslog
host would be more sensible) - most of these things are used for stuff
like wireless routers, where the only thing it's really doing is network
stuff from within the kernel.

You could probably arrange things so you didn't even need /tmp, so no
ramdisk at all - there are a few read-only dists out there.
