1) dowload from
ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7800-linux/binaries/ts-images
these files :
512mbsd-jan212008.dd.bz2
sd-mbr.dd
kernel-image.dd
initrd-busybox-rootfs.dd        

2) dd the mbr file to /dev/sde on my pc ( not sbc )
and it create three partitions : first two are of 4096 and without
filesystem 
and the third of 512mb with linux filesystem

3) dd the kernel image to dev/sde1 (first partition)
4) dd the initrd to /dev/sde2 (the second partition) 
5) bunzip the rootfs file and mkfs.ext3 /dev/sde3
after i'dd the 512mbsd-jan212008.dd to /dev/sde3 ( the third partition) 
without resizing the third partition but after a boot up the ts7800
star with fast boot bunt don't semme to able to load the root fs from sd .
