[j-nsp] JunOS upgrade to 8.5R1.14, boot device too small ?

[Mykola Mitrokhin]

hello David,

Thank you for your quick reply. I have read the requirement. But i use a
RE-2.0 333 768 routing engine in this system,
'without' a flash card. There is no card onboard or in the back. Is there no
option to resize partitions or something?

Thank you for your great help.

best regards,
mykola
