I finally bought another TS7200 after bricking the one that I had about 3 years 
ago, right off the bat I'd like to boot from an NFS share but I've run into 
some problems. Here's what I've got -

RedBoot> fconfig -l
Run script at boot: true
Boot script: 
.. fis load vmlinux
.. exec -c "console=ttyAM0,115200 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/srv/ts7200"

I've attempted several variations on the above including the ip=dhcp option and 
changing the nfs to nfsroot and vice versa, but no luck. If someone could help 
me with a couple of questions I'd be very greatful.

1. What's the proper Debian tarball to extract into the NFS share? (I found one 
for the 2.6 kernel on the site but I don't know if I should be using a 
different one for 2.4)
2. what's the correct boot script to use?

Thanks in advance.
