The TS7250 does not have a CF card reader.
The TS7200 does have the CF card reader but RedBoot does not know about it 
(from what I understand). 

You can boot the kernel from the internal NOR flash on the TS7200, and then 
store the root drive on the CF. But without adding CF support to RedBoot you 
can't boot the kernel from CF.
