look in the directory /etc/init.d/
I believe there is a "network" startup script.
Sorry I can't remember the exact file name and I don't have my ts7200 to
hand.

The script is self explanatory.

Read the documentation you got with the board - it is done in redboot.

I would not recommend doing this, it replaces the normal initialisation
and startup stuff. You would have to ensure your program did any
system initialisation required for your environment, like mounted disks,
network stuff, getty's on lines, daemons started like inetd etc etc.
You sound like a new comer to linux, and this could just prove far too
difficult.
