Hello All,

I have a TS7800 and want to back up the SD card that came with it. I had in 
mind the following steps

 ·boot up (from SD card)
 ·insert a micro SD card
 ·run dd if=/dev/tssdcardb of=/dev/tssdcarda
 ·remove the SD card
 ·insert a blank (formatted for ext2) SD card
 ·run dd if=/dev/tssdcarda of=/dev/tssdcardb

And the inserted SD card would be the backup stashed away for safe keeping. But 
alas it has not been so simple for me. I was unable to find the micro SD card 
(I expected it at /dev/tssdcarda). So I shut down and started the whole process 
over except with a micro SD card in place, but then the SBC attempts to boot 
from the micro card and hangs indefinetly (I removed the power after 14 mins). 
I was using the TS-7800 Manual 
(http://www.embeddedarm.com/about/resource.php?item=393#section3.2) as my 
guide. Can anyone tell me how I can find where the micro device is? Do I need 
to mount the device (with or without a micro card in it) or more fundamentally 
add an appropriate module to the kernal before I proceed? Am I just looking in 
the wrong place? Thnx for any help. I am being used as a guinea pig to test, in 
particular, the ease of use of the TS7800. The catch is I have no embedded 
experience (I'm a numeric methods guy).

Regards
David C.
