Installation guide

> dd if=RTV_5K_FactoryReset_140.rtv of=/dev/diskN bs=1024 count=517121
which produces an output like:
517121+0 records in
517121+0 records out
529531904 bytes transferred in 286.508004 secs (1848227 bytes/sec)
Notes:
1. the "N" in /dev/diskN is from step 1.
2. This took almost 5 minutes to complete. You can watch the activity light on the drive to see that things are happening.
3. If you are in the correct directory, you can "see" the .rtv file with the ls -l command:
> ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 name admin 529531904 Dec 28 2004 RTV_5K_FactoryReset_140.rtv
This confirms you are in the right directory and also tells you the size, in this case 529531904 bytes. Note that 517121*1024 =
529531904.
4. For a different file, RTV_FILE.rtv, of size M, choose a blocksize BS (about 1024) number and a CNT number so that M =
BS*CNT (EXACTLY). Then run:
> dd if=RTV_FILE.rtv of=/dev/diskN bs=BS count=CNT
in the example, M = 529531904, BS = 1024 and CNT = 517121.
