Does the TS kernel support MTD (memory technology devices)?
It allows you to view the Flash from within Linux. Then
you just dd from the flash partition to a file. Eg. something
like

dd if=/dev/mtdpart0 of=vmlinux.bin bs=4k

I would have thought redboot had commands to copy memory to
a file ... but perhaps it'll be easier from Linux.
