+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:
+
+ fatload usb 0 ${loadaddr} bsd; bootoctlinux rootdev=sd0 coremask=0x3
+
+On the EdgeRouter Lite, bootcmd may also reset the USB controller for
