I untar the ts-linux image from the web site or copy the flash memory
of ts-linux and in eather case I can't get the ts-linux to boot from
the sd card I created.  I get problems with the mount and piviot_root
and change root.  I need a better understanding on what these commands
are suppost to do.  I have included comments as to what I think they
are trying to do.

# change to the location of the root file system
cd /mnt/root
piviot_root . initrd

# move the mounts for the dev and proc
./bin/mount -n --move initrd/dev dev
./bin/mount -n --move initrd/proc proc

# execute the init for that file system.
exec ./usr/sbin/chroot . /sbin/init <.$CONSOLE >.$CONSOLE 2>&1

I did notice that the initrd directory does not exist in the tar ball
for the ts-linux.  I also noticed modules 9 were in the tar ball.  I
did get the modules 11 tar ball from the web site and put those in the
lib/modules.  I also copied the initrd from the flash but that didn't
seem to work.  I guess the basic question for this what steps do I
have to follow to get ts-linux to boot of the sdcard of a ts-7400
board.  I currently create the sdcard and put it in the 7400 board and
type exit at the busybox prompt to get it to boot the sdcard.

Here is my errors currently
