You should use tsbootrom-update to change TS7400 to boot from sd card:
$ mac=`ifconfig eth0 | grep HWaddr | cut -d' ' -f11`
$ tsbootrom-update -s -m $mac
SD card image contains proper masterboot (first 446 bytes), kernel
(patrition 2) and initrd (partition 3) to boot 2.6 linux wint
patrition 4 as root filesystem.
ts-fastboot is designed to boot linux 2.4 (root on patrition 3).
