I'll leave alone the question of why you want to change from linux to
netbsd .... You know that is not 'reinstalling everything' right?

In reading Jesse's netbsd page, I see that what you did above is the
*second* step.  The *first* step is to install the netbsd OS to a
Compact Flash card, while the second step installs a netbsd kernel
that boots from the CF.  If you really want to install netbsd, re-read
Jesse's page, and read the TS-7200 docs:

Sorry, those won't work, they are x86 distros, while the TS-7200
system is based on an ARM processor.  Any system or binary you install
must be compiled for ARM.

I suggest you read the docs linked to above, and re-load the standard
TS linux kernel & distro.  Then you will have lots of documentation
available and resources in the discussion group archives.  If you try
netbsd, there is a much smaller pool of experience (at least here ...)
