I'm not sure if I am on the wrong track with your problem or not. If you are having trouble booting from a high capacity device you could always try the method used to boot from large hard drives when the BIOS can't handle the drive. Namely, use a small partition on the device as a boot partition. The
rest of the system would go in a second partition.


Unfortunately, that won't work in this case - SDHC requires an entirely separate driver thats simply not present in the TS-SDBOOT code, and his particular answer comes straight from the horses mouth, as it were - the TS engineer that I spoke with yesterday said that this functionality *may* be planned sometime in the future, but is not present now.

Thanks,
/-Will
