The kernel is stored on the first partition and the initial ramdisk is
stored on the second partition of the SD card. If you have a TS-7300 then 
the kernel and intial ramdisk is loaded from the SD card. If you have a
TS-7400 then the kernel and intial ramdisk is loaded from the onboard 
flash so you can use this space on the SD card for whatever you need. 
Although keep in mind the intial ramdisk currently assumes the Linux 
filesystem is on the third partition.
