You don't mention the TS-752. If you are using it, make sure to set it do that
you are booting from the SD card and not from the Flash. Otherwise you'll need
to pull DIO_07 (MODE1) down by some other means.
I spent several days thoroughly confused by the boot modes in the TS-7500. Sure
the docs explain it all, but it was not obvious to me for a while.
Perhaps the most confusing part is that booting from flash and from SD both
look almost identical. The only difference is a small message saying the boot
source.
When you boot from the SD, you initially boot into the initrd partition of the
card which is (again) almost identical to the one in the Flash. However booting
into the Flash initrd does not allow you (out of the box) to fall back to the
SD Debian partition. Booting from the SD card will let you do that.
In the end it is possible to move from the flash to the SD debian partition,
but a bit of work is required.
My suggestion is to spend some time looking at the different linuxrc scripts in
the initrd partition to really understand what is going on at boot.
Hope this helps.
