So, fun night...
My ERL has been giving me issues lately. Had not been able to log into the web interface, just a Server 500 error.
I decided to fix it tonight, just do a factory reset and load the config file I had saved down after my last change.
Evidently the stock image is stored on a usbkey mounted to a header internally.
Mine died or was dying, image was partially corrupted. So all I did was kill my internet connection and still not be able to connect to the router.
Supposedly at this point you can still connect to them via the console port... if you have an rj-45 to db-9, which I have tons of at work... not home.
Found the image online, flashed to a spare usb key, plugged it in to the ERL header and wala, it lives.
This seems to be a more common issue than you would hope... perhaps bad batch of cheap flash drives? Anyhow, might be handy to have the full image on hand on a spare usb key.
