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

[HahnC at t-systems.com]

Hi Martin,

i have SDCFJ-2048 running on RE-2.0 and RE-5.0 since two years. I never tried the "Extreme" models and stuck to "Standard" speed CF instead, because of issue reports from others. Hope this helps.

good luck,
Christian
