Also, port 21 is open (with vsftpd supposedly running). However all connections are refused, including telnet, nc, and filezilla. Obviously if we could get a shell, there's a lot we could do towards fixing the problem.

One last thing. This might be crazy, but is it possible to boot off of a USB stick? This would theoretically allow us to boot an arch/Ubuntu minimal USB, mount, and chroot in.
That is possible if they're using the right version of U-Boot. Unfortinately, I don't have my RoboRIO here, so I can tell you if it's the right version. But, you should also be able to boot via TFTP over the network. Hook an RS-232 up to a terminal emulator and see if there's a boot console that's visible. It's probably 115Kbps, N, 8, 1 for communications parameters. If you can get to a boot console, then you can completely reflash this beast.

HTH,

Mike
