Looks like you erased you NOR Flash TS-BOOTROM. Thats the first 128KB of the 
NOR flash.

I believe you can recover it with the SerialBlaster:

The basic process is: 
- run the serialblaster utility on your development machine,
- set the jumper on the board to boot serial, 
- restart your board
- it will load the 2KB serialblaster boot loader
- the boot loader loads redboot via serial. 
- Once redboot is running you can download a new NOR flash image via TFTP and 
reinstall your file system.

-Curtis.
