Hi Jim,

The TS-7250 has limited space on the onboard flash.  I planned to put
everything (Debian, my own programs, and data) on the USB disk and
chroot to it.

I don't know much about jffs2.  I tried to use it because that's what
the onboard flash uses.

Any suggestions?  Can I boot directly to a USB disk?
