Though SqueakNOS runs on x86 PCs which do have MMUs, it doesn't use them
at all. So it might be a good example to look at:

Another good example is the SqueakDemoDisk from Marcus Denker (based on
his EmbeddedSqueak) which does not include graphics:

Jon Hylands has been using Squeak on the ARM based Gumstix boards for
his robots, but I don't see information about this at:
