[Abdul 2012]

Hello Everyone,

I have created a booting media with PCMCIA card for my m7i router through
the following procedure


user1 at 3-1> start shell

% cd /var/tmp
% pwd
/var/tmp
%
%
%
% ls
install-media-10.4R8.5-domestic vi.recover

When I try to boot my router from this PCMCIA card I stuck in the
following:



Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG, An Energy Star Ally
Copyright (C) 1984-98, Award Software, Inc.

BIOS Version 1.8
09/18/2003-i440BX-SMC67X-2A69TU00C-00

Will try to boot from :
PCMCIA ATA Flash Card
Compact Flash
Primary IDE Hard Disk

Boot Sequence is reseted due to a PowerUp

Trying to Boot from PCMCIA ATA Flash Card
CD Loader 1.00

              uilding the boot loader arguments
                                               8172

locating the loader and the BTX




What does that mean? Is there any wrong thing with my procedure?
