Take a look at this document if you haven't already:
ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7390-linux/binaries/ts-images/README

It has this paragraph: "It is important to understand that as part of 
the boot process, the SBC looks at the MBR in the first 512 bytes of the 
SD card for boot code.  So, if you try to create an SD card from scratch 
by creating partitions and copying the kernel, initrd, and Debian 
filesystem to the right partitions, it will not be bootable."

BTW, I got the TS-TPC-7390 about 3 weeks ago and have been successful at 
porting a multi-threaded communication console program (for headless use 
with the TS-7400?) and also a GUI program using www.FreePascal.org and 
http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ .  I had my eye on this stuff for at 
least 2 years so it feels good to finally jump in and see things 
working.  It is a great time to use these boards and these tools.
