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

[michael.firth at bt.com]

I'm assuming you want to do it with Windows because the M5 is already dead.
 
One option would be to get the recovery image on to a CF locally, in another Juniper, and then
use Winhex (www.winhex.com) to make an image on Windows, transfer this image to your far off
land, and get your willing hands to install Winhex on their laptop, and load the image to the CF card.
 
It may be possible to get Winhex to directly load a raw Juniper disk image onto a CF card, but if it is
I don't know how.
 
I speak as a happy Winhex customer, and have no other affiliation with them.
 
Regards
 
Michael

Hi all,

We have a need for a PCMCIA recovery disk for an M5 which is 
colocated in a far-off land. I have the disk image, and I have 
willing hands available on-site, one holding a nice big CF card with 
a PCMCIA adapter. Unfortunately the other hand holds a Windows 
laptop, about which I know approximately nothing.

(I presume there was a PCMCIA recovery flash disk shipped with the 
router originally, but nobody knows where that is.)

Does anybody happen to know of a good set of instructions for 
constructing a PCMCIA recovery disk for an M5 from the disk image, 
under Windows?

Also, can anybody confirm that a CF card with a PCMCIA adapter will 
do the trick? I can't imagine why it wouldn't, since it should look 
the same to the host as a regular PCMCIA flash disk, but you never know.


Joe
