Yes, I found the instructions for that, downloaded and installed a
linux server (Ubuntu 8.x), set up NFS, found and downloaded what I
thought was the boot image I needed (debian256-5-6-2005.tar.bz2 from
ftp.embeddedarm.com) and, after several hours, was able to boot from
NFS. The boot reported many, many errors with ts-specific things, but
it mounted /dev/mtdblock/1 and allowed me to restore the backup of
libc that I'd saved and now the onboard flash boots again.

FWIW, our /working/ board is using a kernel that Eddie built us last
summer. I believe that was to include some fixes for the TS-7KV
and/or to add the real-time clock support. I'd put the same kernel on
the new board -- but -- we ordered the new board with the RTC *and*
RS-485 features, so I'm not positive the custom kernel will work
correctly in that configuration. Too bad it isn't the same kernel for
all 7250s, regardless of included hardware options. If it *is* I
apologize and remind the reader that I don't remember if we got a
custom build to fix a bug and/or add a feature.
