-Once your NSLU2 is in upgrade mode, you can flash the new image:

-sudo upslug2 -i di-nslu2.bin

-
-Note that the tool also shows the MAC address of your NSLU2, which may come
-in handy to configure your DHCP server. After the whole image has been
-written and verified, the system will automatically reboot. Make sure you
-connect your USB disk again now, otherwise the installer won't be able to
