1.) Boot to an NFS root filesystem. If you are using kernel ts8 use this as 
your 
nfs root filesystem 
ftp://oz.embeddedx86.com/images/debian256/debian256-5-6-2005.tar.gz,
if you are using kernel ts9 use this as your nfs root filesystem 
ftp://oz.embeddedx86.com/images/debian256/debian256-10-27-2005.tar. Refer to the
TS-ARM developers manual(http://www.embeddedarm.com/Manuals/TS_ARM_L.PDF) for 
information on how to boot to an NFS root filesystem.

2.) Erase the second partition of your onboard flash(use the char device not 
the 
block device).

   eraseall /dev/mtd/1

3.) Mount the second partition of your onboard flash and extract the new 
filesystem.

   mount /dev/mtdblock/1 /mnt
   tar xzvf /path/to/7250_root_fs.tar.gz -C /mnt

4.) Unmount the second partition of your onboard flash and reboot.

   umount /mnt
   shutdown -r now

Correct.
