Sorry, I just noticed I forgot to link you to the bootload page in my last 
post, glad you found it.  

This is our current shipping SD card image for the TS-7300:  
ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7300-linux/binaries/ts-images/sdimage.dd.bz2

The second link you posted is based on the same image, however it uses a 
different FPGA load that has Altera IP for the second ethernet port as opposed 
to the openeth logic we were using which had some issues.  We do not make this 
our default for legacy reasons.
