[j-nsp] Third party compact flash on the J6350.

[Stacy W. Smith]

There are definitely issues with the "junos-jseries-cf" images  
working on any CF that's not on the supported list. See: http:// 
www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/jseries/junos84/rn-jseries-84/rn- 
supported-IIIparty-hw.html#rn-supported-IIIparty-hw

Not sure if your Kingston cf's match the ones on the list, but it  
looks like the SanDisk ones do not.

That being said, you MAY be able to use the snapshot command on an  
existing J6350 router to prepare you current CFs. Use the supported  
SanDisk—ImageMate USB 2.0 Reader/Writer for CompactFlash Type I and  
II device to connect the CFs via USB. Then do "request system  
snapshot media usb partition as-primary" You can also add the  
"factory" keyword if you don't want to copy the configs with the  
snapshot.

HTH,
