I have tried it on a TS-7200, but the TS-7250 isn't fully supported by
the NetBSD port. 1) I haven't written a procedure for using RedBoot
to boot a NetBSD kernel and 2) I don't look for the extra SDRAM that
may be available on the TS-7250.
You can get Linux to pseudo-boot to the USB key using a complex
invocation using an "initrd" and "pivot root" (Linux terminology).
Basically, you boot to an in-RAM filesystem image that contains the
USB modules. The system boots up, loads the USB modules, and then
does whats called a "pivot root" (not chroot) to the USB filesystem.
I think has set this up before, I'll see if I
can get him to post it here if he still has the initrd and remembers
the kernel commandline.
