[j-nsp] Constructing a PCMCIA recovery disk for an M5 under Windows

[Pablo Varela]

If you have the M5 available you can do it yourself having the PCMCIA
inserted on it's slot and running the appropiate dd command (look on the
juniper website where you download software).

If you only have a PC available you can try Knoppix (
http://www.knoppix.org ), a Live CD Linux distribution, where you might
be more familiar and you also have the dd command available.
