How to access / (root) folder from STOP bo...
macnuts 2 Aug 2012
Hi,
my DM8000 box just stopped booting up. I can only reach the STOP message.
I can flash it from web but I would like to save some configs from /etc before I reflash the box.
Is there any way to do it? I tired some communication protocols, but the connection was always refused and no trace in the serial log (the ports were closed, most probably).
Regards.
For a reference, below is my boot log (OpenPli3).

I put the USB stick into front USB socket.
3.
In telnet to box in stop mode: I set the usb as second boot device (with PgUp/PgDn) and set its command to:
