Thanks for educating me, Rod.

So, I guess I should just be able to edit lunuxrc-sdroot on the init
partition to assign /dev/tssdcarda5 to the root fs instead, right?  Do I
have to worry about the assignment anywhere else?

The assignment of device names is architecture-specific. On a x86 based Linux 
host, the SD flash will be identified as /dev/sdX, where X is some letter, 
probably low in the alphabet. On the TS-Arm architecture, SD devices are 
identified as /dev/tssdcarda. The 'a' suffix is because the SD flash is always 
the first device mapped. Numeric suffixes denote the partition numbers, just 
like they do on other architectures. The 5th partition on your SD flash should 
therefore be seen as /dev/tssdcarda5 on your TS-Arm host.

I used GParted to add another partition to my SD card.  GParted
indicated that there were a maximum of 4 primary partitions allowed, so
I had to create an extended partition (/dev/sdb4) that contains the
original 4th partition and the new 5th partition (/dev/sdb5 and
/dev/sdb6).  Normally, during bootup linuxrc-sdroot assigns
/dev/tssdcarda4 as the root file system.  Does anyone know where
/dev/tssdcarda4 gets assigned to /dev/sdb4?  I need to assign it to
/dev/sdb5, now that I have the extra partition.
