I get the kernel via http, so at redboot I use:
"load -v -r -b 0x218000 -h 192.168.2.1 -m
http /~ccm/zImage-2.6.22.4-rt9"
192.168.2.1 is the server, and zImage-2.6.22.4-rt9 is one of my test
kernels in my home public html directory.
[Note: these are my development kernels, not the TS-released ones.
I haven't had a chance to try them out ...]
Once loaded, I use the following exec line:
exec -c "root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.2.1:/home/armel-root-fs
console=ttyAM0,115200 ip=192.168.2.30"
Again, 192.168.2.1 is the nfs server, and my nfs root fs is in a
separate home directory named armel-root-fs. the 192.168.2.30 is
the ip address of the ts-7250 I use.

Sorry, don't know. I guess you could, if you get the device nodes
transferred OK, etc. But why restrict yourself to a small distro?
With NFS you can use more of a full-blown system.
