I understand what you're saying, but I'm puzzled by the ARM Linux 72xx
manual that says the 7250 can boot directly to Debian USB by including
the 'root=/dev/hda1' parameter in fconfig
If that statement is true, how do the modules get loaded? Also, that
manual says that the USB drive is not hot-pluggable, so I don't
understand how you can plug the USB drive after loading the modules.
Actually, I ran loadUSBModules.sh after the USB was plugged, and was
then able to see (ls -l) and use (cp xxx /mnt/cf; cat xxx) the drive.
SO clearly i can mount and use the drive, but I can't change to Debian
with '/usr/bin/loadUSB.sh'. Maybe the Sarge image I untarred to the USB
drive is corrupt; I'll download it again and see what happens. As I
wrote earlier, I know I '/usr/bin/loadUSB.sh' works on the TS-supplied
Debian with the Developer's Kit, and I'm hoping that the Sarge image on
their Web site is the same.
