By default the system boots to the internal nvram.  Check out the instructions
here 

  http://www.seiner.com/mediawiki/index.php/Booting_to_sdcard

and that should get you to boot from the card.

There's also a way you can boot directly from the SD card but my understanding
is that it's irreversible on the 7260 so try the above way first
