  1. Finally, it will reboot into the xorplus prompt. Default login is admin/pica8, it will prompt for a password change.
 
+== Installing v2.3 manually ==
+2.4 has licencing check, and using automated onie install does not partition CF card. We will follow old instructions for upgrading switch, but use ONIE to format CF card, as u-boot flash environment does not exist.
+
+Steps:
+1. reboot into uboot
+1. run onie_rescue
+1. partitioning the cf card
+  1. We need 2 partitions, partition 2 needs to be at least 400MB, and partition 1 gets what's left, but a minimum of 550MB to hold the image, so we need a 1gb cf card at minimum, larger is better.
+  1. run fdisk -l
+  1. you will see
+{{{
+Disk /dev/sda: 1045 MB, 1045094400 bytes
+32 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1012 cylinders
+Units = cylinders of 2016 * 512 = 1032192 bytes

+/dev/sda1   *           1        1012     1020064+  6 FAT16
+Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
+     phys=(999, 31, 63) logical=(1011, 31, 63)
+}}}
+  1. calculate cylinder boundaries
+   1. Note total cylinders (1012) , and total size, in MB (1045)
+   1. Divide total size by 400, (1045/400)= 2.6125
+   1. Divide total cylinders by 2.6125 (1012/2.6125)=387.36...
+   1. Round up to nearest 10 or so. 387... to 390.
+   1. subtract 1012-390 = 622
+  1. type fdisk /dev/sda
+  1. type d, then 1 to delete partition 1
+{{{
+Command (m for help): d
+Selected partition 1
+}}}
+  1. create new partition with n p 1 622

+Command (m for help): n
+Command action
+e extended
+p primary partition (1-4)

+Partition number (1-4): 1
+First cylinder (1-3970, default 1): 1
+Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1-1012 default 1012): 622

+  1. create second partition with n p 2 enter enter (uses defaults)

+  1. press w to write and exit.
+ 1. Formatting
+  1. mke2fs -j /dev/sda1*
+  1. mke2fs -j /dev/sda2*
+ 1. Mount the cf card
+  1. mkdir /cf_card
+  1. mount /dev/sda1 /cf_card
+ 1. Download image.
+  1. tftp -g -l rootfs.tar.gz -r (picos image name) 10.50.0.42
+ 1. extract image
+  1. tar -zxvf rootfs.tar.gz -C /cf_card/
+  1. cf /cf_card
+  1. sync
+ 1. reboot into new os
+  1. reboot
