I think this happens if you try to boot the install media CF in the
on-board CF slot rather than in PCMCIA Adapter in the PCMCIA slot.

Try putting a blank CF (or the old CF card) in the CF slot on the RE,
and insert the install media CF card in a PCMCIA -> CF adapter in the
front slot, then reboot.

It should then boot from the PCMCIA slot and prompt to re-install
everything. This takes about 15 - 20 minutes.

After install is complete, eject the PCMCIA adapter and reboot, and you
will be left with a blank router.
