Linux kernel 2.6 has merged in the ucLinux (uc as in micro
controller) fork, so it is able to be compiled to run on 
low-spec non-MMU CPUs.  You might look into that.  I don't
know if there's any distrib supporting it, but you're
probably wise to look at the embedded systems arena (mass
market or low-power embedded apps are pretty much the only
uses for low-spec CPUs any more).  I'd expect you'd find
most 286 unixes have atrophied, if they were ever on the web
to begin with (IIRC, the 286 was new around 20 years ago).
