[j-nsp] JUNOS upgrade 7.0R2.7->7.3R2.9 failed on M5

[Guy Davies]

The PCMCIA card on the RE333 is only used to rebuild the RE in the event
that it gets badly narfed up.  You can't use it under normal
circumstances as a bootable media for normal operation.   

When you boot the M5 with the PCMCIA card inserted, it will reformat the
disks (both flash and harddisk) and reinstall JUNOS.

If you have a PCMCIA card and a copy of your config, this may be the
best thing to try first.  Rebuild the box using the PCMCIA card,
re-install the config and see how you go.

However, if the flash is complaining as badly as it seems, it may be so
badly broken that this won't fix it either.

Rgds,

Guy

	If it's a PCMCIA, you can get a $9 (or cheaper) PCMCIA <-> CF
adapter.

	I've done this with Cisco routers and other devices without
troubles, but I don't know about this.. perhaps someone can upload a
high res image of their board for analysis..
