It initially sounded like you were "reinstalling everything". The TS7200
comes with TSLinux installed not NetBSD. All the documents are on the TS
website main pages. Booting Linux from USB can be problematic, because most
kernels need to load various USB modules, which can only happen once the
kernel has booted and has access a file system where it can find them -
hence "initrd". But not sure there's a ready rolled initrd image.
Never tried NetBSD for the ts7200.
However the TS7200 has a CFDisk slot, and the installed RedBoot bootloader
can boot a kernel from a resident CFDisk. You could setup the TSLinux
kernel and image on a CFDisk and configure redboot to boot from there.
Everything you need to know is in Product documents on the TS website.

Are there ARM versions of DSL and Puppy?
