2010-04-05Update installation instructionsWouter Verhelst
Apparently the ss4000e installer firmware image does not work. Since I wrote the support on a borrowed machine, I cannot test any fixes. Since the installer requires a manual serial console step anyway, explain how to manually load the installer ramdisk and kernel in the manual. It's a bit more involved than loading an image through a web interface, but at least it will work.
