I finally got it.

In case anyone's interested, here's a simple script to automate extracting
the kernel from the TS-7200 flash. It's a bit cleaner than the script I
posted earlier:
-----------------------
start=4        # 0x0040000
len=12         # 0x00C0000
f=/dev/mtd/2   # Redboot partition
dd bs=65536 if=$f of=$1 skip=$start count=$len
-----------------------
I called it getk.sh.  Invoke with the output file as the only argument.

The reason nothing was working is that I have been trying to use a PC
running cygwin as a development box. I couldn't get the cygwin tftpd to
work. I found a windows tftpd in the windows resource kit. 
DO NOT USE THE TFTPD FROM THE WINDOWS RESOURCE KIT. IT DOES NOT WORK.

I switched to TFTPD32 from Philippe Jounin and life is good. Not only did
the kernel extracted from the flash work when loaded via redboot's tftp, the
kernel I built from source worked.
