I discovered if I reboot the router after inserting the USB drive, it
sees it (I don't see this listed in the docs anywhere as a requirement).
However, it didn't boot from the resulting USB key - it just said
missing OS (and then after a timeout booted from CF).

I was trying to upgrade to 8.5 (which requires more CF space), following
these directions:

Has anyone done this?
