[j-nsp] M7i hard disk hint needed

[John T. Yocum]

Hi Alexander,

I ran into the same problem with our M7i. Juniper ended up replacing our 
RE as they suspected hardware failure. However, after a couple reboots, 
the hard drive was detected.

Since you appear to have a CF card installed, you can run without the 
hard drive. Thus, you should be able to remain operational until the RE, 
or hard disk is replaced.
