found it today on official VU+ site:

DUO Boot loader update(duo_cfe_3_0_usb.zip)
- Increase update file size up to 128M Bytes
- Change the flash memory map(kernel size : 4M, /boot : 2M)
* Delete the cfe_cfe_auto.bin at /vuplus/duo in USB after update is complete.

//haven't tetsed it myself yet, so do not kill the messenger, if something goes wrong
and here's how-to (for braves ):
