The TS-7390 cannot boot directly from USB, it still needs to initially boot 
from NAND or SD card.  In the fastboot shell you will see a file, I believe it 
is called "linuxrc-usbroot" you will want to link this to "linuxrc".  What this 
will do is attempt to mount a USB device to /mnt/root, then continue booting as 
normal.  See the script for more in-depth information.  

In order to prepare a USB device, you simply need to unpack a distribution to 
it after formatting it with one partition that is either ext2/3 or JFS.  This 
is our default shipping tarball:
