Paul,

I dd' the uncompressed ts7800-512mbsd.dd.bz2 to my sd card. This is
not in the ts-7800 subdir on ftp://oz.embeddedarm.com/ but in the
root. This seems to boot. Fdisk will complain about partitions if you
try to look at them. What you did below, and from my other reply seems
to end up with broken links to /etc among other locations.

David.
