Hi all,

I want to upgrade a M5 from 6.2R2.4 to 8.5R1.14. But I don't have a PCMCIA card, see bellow:

root> request system software add non-validate reboot /var/tmp/jinstall-8.5R1.14-export-signed.tgz
Installing package '/var/tmp/jinstall-8.5R1.14-export-signed.tgz' ...
Verified MD5 checksum of jinstall-8.5R1.14-export.tgz
Adding jinstall...

WARNING: This installation will not succeed.
WARNING: The boot device is less than 256M.
WARNING: A hardware upgrade is required.

pkg_add: package /var/tmp/instmp.RJ7Ung/jinstall-8.5R1.14-export.tgz fails requirements - not installed
pkg_add: install script returned error status

root>


Is there any way to upgrade without a PCMCIA card? I coudn't find anything on this mailing list/google.
