Ricardo, check that the link that you created in step 12 was actually
created. I noticed that I often had to do the sync/save after creating
that link multiple times before it would finally get saved. Once that
link is there, you should not have to type exit to boot directly to the
SD card.

Don and Mark, thanks for your support.
I downloaded the sd card image for the ts7260 board from
ftp.embeddedarm.com
<ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7260-linux/binaries/ts-images/sdimage-new.dd.bz2>.
This image works very well
Apparently, the previous image that came with the card with the ts7260
board I bought, had a problem.
I do not know why.
One more question,
How do I get my debian system boot directly? without having to type
exit after startup.
Regards,
Ricardo

Ricardo,
The first two lines are printed from the bootrom, but normally it will
print three dots after. The first dot says that it loaded and
executed the MBR from the SD card followed by a dot for loading the
kernel and one for the initrd. This is normally not needed if you're
first booting to the onboard flash and then to SD. However with the
bootrom change you will need this new MBR in place which will not be
there with the stock SD image.
Try booting this image:
ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7260-linux/binaries/ts-images/sdimage-new.dd.bz2
Best Regards,

Uh oh. That's not a good sign. Where did you get your SD card image?

From within the shell, type the following:
