This bundle is used to produce both the PCMCIA boot flash card and the LS-120 bo

ot floppy
to install jinstall-<release-number>-domestic.tgz.
You must have UNIX super-user privileges in order to issue the "dd" commands.
* LS-120 boot floppy
To create an LS-120 boot floppy, ftp the image to the router's /var/tmp di
rectory
and insert an LS-120 disk into the router's drive. Then, from the UNIX sh
ell on
your router, change to the /var/tmp directory and issue the following comm
ands:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/adf0 count=20
dd if=install-media-<release-number>-domestic of=/dev/adf0 bs=64k
* PCMCIA boot flash card
To create a PCMCIA boot flash card, ftp the image to the router's /var/tmp
directory
and insert a PC card into the routers' drive.
Then, from the UNIX shell on your router, change to the /var/tmp directory
and issue
the following commands:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad3 count=20
dd if=install-media-<release-number>-domestic of=/dev/ad3 bs=64k

USB boot storage device:


To create a USB boot storage device, ftp the image to the router's /var/tmp dire
ctory and
insert a USB storage device into the router's USB port. Then, from the UNIX shel
l on your router,
change to the /var/tmp directory and issue the following commands:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 count=20
dd if=install-media-8.3R1.5-domestic of=/dev/da0 bs=64k

J-series Install Media:


The following packages are the same as the exported worldwide versions. As a res
ult,
these packages include the string "-export-". The images use the naming conventi
on
"junos-jseries-<release>-cfnnn.gz", where <release> is the software release vers
ion
and nnn is the target compact flash card size in megabytes (128, 256, 512, or 10
24).
* To recover a primary compact flash card:
1. Plug the compact flash drive into a PCMCIA adapter or USB card reader o
n the host PC,
and verify that it is recognized by the operating system.
2. Copy the JUNOS software image to the host PC and uncompress it with the
gzip or WinZip
utility. The uncompressed image must have the same size as the target comp
act flash capacity
(128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, or 1024 MB).
3. Copy the JUNOS software image to the compact flash card with one of the
following commands:
CAUTION: You must use the correct target device name. Failure to do
so might damage
other storage devices connected to the host PC.
o On a UNIX PC, use the following command:
dd if=<filename> of=/dev/<device_name>
Replace <filename> with the name of the uncompressed image, and <dev
ice_name> with the
name of the raw PCMCIA card device. For example:
root# dd if=junos-jseries-<release-number>-export-cf128 of=/de
v/hde
250368+0 records in
250368+0 records out
o On a Windows XP or Windows 2000 PC, use the Norton Ghost or dd utili
ty.
(For M-series, MX-series, and T-series routing platforms) The compact flash dis
k memory requirement
for JUNOS software Release 9.0 is 1 GB. For M7i and M10i routing platforms with
only 256 MB memory,
see the Customer Support Center JTAC Technical Bulletin PSN-2007-10-001:
https://www.juniper.net/alerts/viewalert.jsp?txtAlertNumber=PSN-2007-10-001&acti
onBtn=Search.
(For J-series Service Routers with 256 MB of RAM and a 256-MB compact flash.)
* Before upgrading to JUNOS Release 8.5 or higher, users need to increas
e the available
compact flash space by deleting unused files and removing the swap parti
tion.
* Users can use only CLI to upgrade to Release 8.5 or higher (upgrading
using the J-Web
interface requires at least 512 MB of RAM and a 512-MB compact flash).
