I have a ts-7800 that boots from an SD card.  I made a copy of that
card, using dd for partitions 1 and 2.  I made partition 3 an ext3,
and partition 4 a jfs, per the original SD card.  Then I used cp -au
<src card> <target card> for partitions 3 and then 4.

The card I made will only work if I remove the jumper that tells the
ts7800 to boot from the card.  Without the jumper, the unit boots from
nand and then the SD card.  While I can use it that way, I'm trying to
understand what the difference might be, because I must be doing
something wrong.

BTW, I can't use dd on partition 4, because the target card is smaller
than the source card, although both are 2 GB.  I've tried on 4
different SD targets.  All the cards are SanDisk.

I asked Derek at Technologic why it can boot through nand first and
then the card, but not the card directly.  He hasn't answered me so I
hope someone here can offer some clues.

Thanks.
