Summit 5i & Image too large

Hello,

I was trying to upgrade my Summit 5i from ExtremeWare 7.2 and got
following:

ERROR: Image too large

EW7.3 image takes 7.5MB and BootROM is 8MB, however it looks that it
doesn't fit. I saw PCMCIA card inside of that box and possibility of
boot from PCMCIA card in boot-prompt. Can anyone tell me if it's
possible and how should PCMCIA filesystem look like to do that ?

I've searched extreme-nsp archives but haven't found anything
concering that subject.

You need to use the .Bxtr image instead of the .xtr image.

Thanks Mikael, it worked. I should read Release Notes before I made an
upgrade though :)
