Although keep in mind the intial ramdisk currently assumes the Linux

Right.
Now I'm even more confused, about something else regarding boot :)
On a ts-7400, in the online manual ( http://www.embeddedarm.com/Manuals/ts-7400-info.txt) in "Booting custom kernels and OS images from within Linux", it says the default linuxrc-mtdroot looks for a kernel image on the NAND flash (that would be on partition 1 of the flash, as per what you said above) and uses bootload to start the kernel. However, in my copy of linuxrc-mtdroot, bootload isn't used. The kernel's already running at that point (right?) and that kernel will be active from then on, it won't start a new kernel.
Now where do I specify commandline options to the kernel on my ts-7400?
BTW: or is this because my flash has been recovered with an incorrect ts9441?
