[j-nsp] general guidelines for installing JUNOS to RE, where HDD and CF are blank

[Martin T]

Pekka,
by "Extreme model" did you mean this one: http://mcaf.ee/7f49a ?

Jonas,
did I understand correctly, that SDCFB-512-A10(http://mcaf.ee/9f345)
and SDCFB-1024-A10(http://mcaf.ee/b2d7a) are both tested and suitable
for JONOS installation from CF using "install image" method? Any other
CF cards, which are confirmed to work?

regards,
martin
