did you change the /etc/fstab file in the debian image to match your
setup - i.e. the root filesystem line.

Just to note also - on the ts7200 you can put your kernel on the cf disk.
Redboot can load the kernel from there e.g. ...

load -r -b 0x00218000 -m disk hda1:/vmlinux.bin
exec -c "console=ttyAM0,115200 root=/dev/hda1"
