Assuming you are using the on-board flash image, then
First you'll need to load the modules for fat etc support

 insmod fat
 insmod vfat
 insmod msdos

The devfs file system makes some of devices a bit opaque - it should be
something simple like  /dev/hda1  but instead is

 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1

that is, if the cfdisk has a partition table describing just one
partition. If there is no partition table and the whole disk has been
formatted then it will be

 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc

Just to confuse, redboot references the cfdisk as /dev/hda1 etc
I believe the full debian system that technologics provides, does not use
devfs, and so the cfdisk is referenced as the usual /dev/hda1 etc there
too.

sorry can't help you there - usb storage on the ts7200 is on my very
long todo list.
