I'm coming back to TS7xx0 development and I'm off to a rocky start.

I have not kept any of my notes, so I'm starting with nothing but the 
knowledge that the things I'm trying to do can be done....

I am using openwrt from here: git://github.com/ynezz/openwrt.git

First off, booting from the CF card, I get:

== Executing boot script in 1.000 seconds - enter ^C to abort
RedBoot> load -r -b 0x00218000 -m disk hda1:openwrt-ts72xx-zImage
Raw file loaded 0x00218000-0x0033c7ff, assumed entry at 0x00218000
RedBoot> exec -c "root=/dev/sda1 console=ttyAM0,115200"
Using base address 0x00218000 and length 0x00124800
Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.
......
[    1.720000] VFS: Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(0,0)
[    1.740000] Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the 
available partitions:
[    1.740000] 1f00            8192 mtdblock0  (driver?)

I am using kernel 3.3.8 and this used to work.  I am missing something, 
either in the root file system or in the kernel.

When I try to boot using nfsroot, the kernel ignores my nfsroot 
options.  I remember there being a "trick" to this something with -m and 
-H but what that is my old brain cells won't divulge.
