I can't make bootload work. The command

  bootload -c "console=ttyAM0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock/3" /boot/vm7400

boots vm7400 ( which is just the default kernel downloaded from 
ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7400-linux/binaries/ts-kernels/vmlinux-7400-ts11.bin
 ) but then it panics to

  VFS: Cannot open root device "mtdblock/3" or 1f:00
  Please append a correct "root=" boot option
  Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 1f:00

My setup has linuxrc pointed to linuxrc-mtdroot and I see that this file calls 
bootload itself after loading ts7xxx_nand and bootloader modules. Modules are 
still loaded when I try to bootload but kernel hangs anyways.

How does it really work? Why does linuxrc-mtdroot calls for bootload and how 
can it continue to run afterwards to pivot_root? I've tried to look for exact 
examples of bootload use but can't find none. Examples in bootload's page don't 
work.

Thanks in advance.
