This is a good question. I'm trying to make a script and include it to 
my build system. So far I'm stuck in mbr.dd file. According to the 
manual TS-7300 firmware is capable to read 512 bytes from the SD card. 
So 446 bytes of proprietary boot loader should load a kernel from the 
first partition to RAM at 0x218000 and initrd from the second at 
0x1000000. That means we need to keep initrd really small. MBR image 
available on FTP server contains 16384 bytes... It includes partition 
table and some other code. I don't know may I ask support to explain 
how to use this MBR image. 

What I'm going to try is to remove the rest of the code after the first 
512 bytes and see if it's important for the boot up procedure.
