I am following this with keen interest as I also have a TS-7260 with an 
SD card and have not been able to boot to it.

The only differences are that I have a 4 GB SD card (not an issue) and I 
used a different image from the same ftp location 
(fastboot-7300-sdcard-10-24-2006.dd.bz2). After some maneuvering I am 
able to chroot to the file system in partition 3, after booting to the 
image in board flash but I have not been able to boot to it.

If you manage to boot using the image that Eddie (in the wiki page) 
suggest I will switch to that image. Please let us know if you succeed.

Thanks,
