Haven't done this myself, but I think you want to delete the old
kernal from flash and write the new one.  See p9 or the Linux for ARM
on TS-72XX User's Guide.  

You'll probably first need to get to the RedBooot shell at startup
(ctrl-c), load the new kernal from an HTTP or NFS server (I did that
following instructions, not too hard, note the option for HTTP port#
is -p <portnum>).  Then delete old, write new kernal.
