I'm guessing that the linuxrc hasn't been linked to linuxrc-sdroot, but
it's been a while. When you get the $ prompt and type "ls -l" what is
linked to linuxrc? I use the fastboot procedure here

http://www.embeddedarm.com/software/arm-linux-fastboot-ts7300.php

although, you can't ever go back once you configure your board to boot
that way.

thanks so much, the image has been dd to the sd card now, however,
when i boot the sbc and type exit, the linux can't be loaded
the screen looks like:

Finished booting in 1.81 seconds
Type 'tshelp' for help
$ exit
