When you split /var off from /, you need two partitions.  
The result is that "partition 4" now holds partition 5 & 6.  
That is why we have / on 5, and /var on 6.

Our initrd is on 3.

Sorry, the e-mail was sent before I was finished.

I guess I'm confused as to what the difference is between rootfs and
/dev/tssdcarda4. If I look at what is mounted:

tcors02:~# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs 1894904 674184 1220720 36% /
tmpfs 31244 0 31244 0% /lib/init/rw
tmpfs 10240 36 10204 1% /dev/shm
/dev/tssdcarda4 1507 1072 435 72% /initrd
none 31244 0 31244 0% /initrd/dev
none 31244 0 31244 0% /initrd/dev/shm
tmpfs 10240 36 10204 1% /dev

it shows /dev/tssdcarda4 mounted at /initrd, but isn't the 4th partition
of the SD card for the TS lenny image the root file system? If I try
adding an entry into fstab like:

/dev/tssdcarda4 /initrd jfs defaults 0 1

then, when the board boots, fsck gives an error that /dev/tssdcarda4 is
already mounted, so fsck won't be run on it. Should fsck for the 4th
partition of the SD card be run from /linuxrc on the initrd (i.e. the 3rd
partition of the SD card)?
