Hi All

It does not work for me. I have followed every forum suggestion I can find. I 
even made a new SD card from a blank, partitioned it, added all the files 
including tsbootrom-update and I cannot get the board to do anything other than 
boot from flash and show me busybox 1.0 which has limited functionality. I am a 
noob when it comes to Linux so I definitely don't know what I don't know. I 
cannot even get to the SD card root through any command that I know, even 
though the boot sequence script (thats what I call it) shows that the SD card 
is mounted.

All suggestions appreciated.
Michael
