Unstructured notes

The flash disk is a FAT32 disk of 2GB and by default mounted on /mnt/flash

The /mnt/flash/persistent/ directory contains the system disk images.

The file /mnt/flash/rc.eos is executed at the end of the boot (switch reload) time. It has the file /etc/swi-version sourced, exposing the EOS version.
