Chris, Alex: so one needs to download "install-media-*", dd(1) this image(as I understand, it contains MBR and file-system with installation files) to CF and finally insert the CF to "PC Card" adapter in order to insert it into "PC Card" slot of RE-850? This will make default setup, where JUNOS is installed to CF(ad0), but /var is mounted to HDD(ad1)? In addition, how to make a redundant setup, where RE is able to boot from HDD and be fully functional if CF fails(I have CF as first boot device and HDD second one)?
