[c-nsp] More than 128M CF on C1800 router?

[Erik Soosalu]

Don't hot insert the flash - *bad* things happen.  Always insert with
the router powered down, but 2GB cards work fine.

The card in this router is a SanDisk Ultra II 2GB.  I've also used
Transcend 2GB cards.

Thanks,
Erik

meh, annoying.  For some reason, 64Mb cards are easy to get, and 256M
too. 
  Just not 128M cards.
