-If you've installed onto USB replace the 'fatload' part with:
+If you have installed onto USB use the following bootcmd instead:
- fatload usb 0 $loadaddr bsd
+ fatload usb 0 ${loadaddr} bsd; bootoctlinux rootdev=sd0

+On dual-core systems, the coremask parameter enables the secondary CPU:

+On the EdgeRouter Lite, bootcmd may also reset the USB controller for
