Ah, so its different again than the TS-7300.
Is the kernel-on-flash a requirement? If redboot loads the kernel, then
surely it can pick it up from /boot/vmlinux just as easily as the
flash.

Dave's original question really involved two things;
- new kernel
- new filesystem
So in your TFTP setup, what do you use as the filesystem;
the old one on the CF card, or a new one via NFS?
Once you have a new kernel proofed, then you can flash it,
and move onto upgrading the filesystem. If NFS works, you
can upgrade the NFS version until you're happy, and then
copy it onto the CF.
Joe, any comments on what you do?
Cheers
Dave
