The linuxrc file as well as the SD card driver reside on the initial
ramdisk. The initial ramdisk is stored on the second partition of the SD
card(ext2 filesystem).

It looks like you modified your bootrom on your board. Seeing as though
it is TS-SDBOOT(this is not the default bootrom). As mentioned earlier
this bootrom will try to load a kernel and initial ramdisk from an SD card.
