[j-nsp] T Series RE-1300 CompactFlash Card upgrade

[Rafael Rodriguez]

Now trying with the SanDisk 1GB and getting a little bit further but running
into another issue now.  CF begins to boot but goes into "debugging
subshell" mode.  I've tried this now on two REs with the same result.  On
the CF we have (from install-media) 10.4R5.5.  Im kind of stumped with this
one, don't know what I am doing wrong.  Any help is greatly appreciated.
 Thanks.




=================== Bootstrap installer starting ===================
Initialized the environment
Routing engine model is RE-4.0
Discovered that flash disk = ad0 , hard disk = ad1
ERROR: discover_install_drive: tmp/preinstall/install.conf not found
You are now in a debugging subshell (you may not see a prompt)...
