Hi All.

I am wishing to use a 8Gb micro-SD card as mounted ext2/3 file system.
Additionally, I wish to boot via the on-board flash as standard.

However, simply adding a micro-SD card doesn't wake up linux to advised a card 
has been added. 
i.e.: /var/log/syslog announces the card is found and the /dev/name and 
partition information sort and found, whilst it does for other devices for 
example usb flash.

So, my question is:
Is it possible to use the micro-SD card for applications, if so how.

Of course if I set Jumper 1 ON for booting the TS7800 on power-up does try to 
boot from the micro-SD card but stops there. 
But as I don't have any system or boot data on the card, the booting just 
"hangs". 

The TS7800 manual says that the TS7800 will try to boot firstly from the 
micro-SD card, then the standard SD card then on-board flash if it fails to 
boot by other means. 
That is my interruption of what is written in the Manual.

However, my experience testing over six TS7800 systems is: 
They just hang awaiting micro-SD booting. 
The micro-SD card I am using are ext2 formatted, but contains only application 
information.

Can anyone suggest a known workaround or can offer another other option for 
using micro-SD card in the way I wish to use it?

Thanks in advance.
Cheers. Grahame.
