[j-nsp] Manually installing JunOS on crashed HD (no CF available)

Thu Jul 8 09:34:55 EDT 2010

Gentlemen,

thank you for all those answers on my previous question, about replacing M7i
HD.

Just replaced that crashed HD with an IDE one, notebook sized.
Haven't found a SSD at good prices, still searching for one.

In this new HD I've installed FreeBSD 4.4-mini (minimum install, just
default options),
trying to mimic partitions and options from other M7i box. To install I
plugged the HD at
one PC and did install there.

Next step was booting at M7i board and going to do jinstall, but it freezes
at boot time.
I didn't try to run jinstall from outside the box.

What am I missing here?

I'm attaching output from serial, as I got it from M7i console.

I'm not sure if this is any documented procedure. Is there any documentation
on how to do this?
I do not have a CF card available, so doing this at JunOS CLI isn't an
option.

Once more, thank you.

Kind regards,
Felipe
