It seems like most of the newer kernels from TS are configured to expect
an NFS root file system. That is fine for development, but not for
deploying remote systems that may lack network connectivity. Is there a
simple procedure for reconfiguring these kernels to look for the root
file system elsewhere, like on an SD card? I attempted to run bootload
using a 2.6 kernel image on a TS7260 with a 2.4 kernel, but it hangs
with the familiar

portmap: server 192.168.0.11 not responding, timed out
Root-NFS: Unable to get nfsd port number from server, using default

error, so I tried instead to do "booload -c "console=ttyAM0,115200
root=/dev/mtdblock1" zImage-2.6.21-ts" but this eventually hangs as well

I tried to set root to a root file system on a 2.6 SD card, but
apparently the drivers aren't loaded yet or something because that
doesn't work either. Any help is appreciated.
