[j-nsp] j2300 cf upgrade

[Stacy W. Smith]

Mike,

Try leaving off the "as-primary" keyword when doing the snapshot to  
the USB.

The "as-primary" keyword is only necessary if the destination of your  
snapshot will be used in the primary CF slot. So, don't use it when  
doing the snapshot to the USB device, but once you're booted off the  
USB with the new blank CF installed, you'll then want to do "request  
system snapshot media compact-flash partition as-primary" to get  
JUNOS onto the new primary CF.

Also, can you tell me what version of JUNOS you're using?
