One good way:
* Set up an export for NFS from your Linux PC.
* Mount that directory on the TS7800
* dd the root filesystem to a file on the NFS directory. This will take a long
time and create a single large file.
You will need to create a bootable NFS mount, as you can't boot from a
filesystem on the new TS8700 and overwrite that same filesystem - horrible
things will happen. I think.
* Create another directory on the Linux PC and NFS export that.
* Mount in on the TS7800
* Copy evrything from the old filesystem to this new directory.
On each new TS7800:
* Boot it from your NFS filesystem
* mount the directory containing the dd image.
* copy the dd image onto the NAND Flash filesystem, which is NOT the NFS
filesystem!
I am afraid I haven;t given you explicit commands for each step.
