Hello Kyaw,
If for some reason, the solution from Per Oberg does not work, try
setting up your own NFS root (I assume you have a linux box handy aside
from the TS board).
You basically want the linux kernel to boot into some working base
environment so that you can mount and adjust the contents of /dev/mtdblock1
(i.e. ln -sf /bin/busybox /bin/sh)
Good luck :)
