I'm not sure if this helps, but here goes...  I have a TS-7200 that was having a
software compatibility issue, and Eddie told me to install a newer copy of
redboot (available from their FTP server???).  I don't have my notes in front of
me, but I believe it was something like "dd newredbootimage.bin /dev/mtdblock0".
Of course I did this from a working TS system, similar to flashing the bios on 
a PC
after you boot from a floppy.  How you do that without a bootable system is
still the big mystery.

Another possibility is to use the TS-9420-ARM Production Tool shown at
http://www.embeddedarm.com/epc/ts9420-arm-spec-p.php
Quote: "This board allows rapid and error-free software loads for production
units using images stored in Flash. Technologic System's SBC boards can boot
directly from this board, even if the SBC Flash disk is corrupted."
At $175 it's a little expensive for a one time fix, but if you need a production
imaging tool anyway, this seems like the ideal time to buy one.

Good luck,
Joe
