Free space: 97MB
Making sure mount point is clear
umount: /media/usb_msd is not mounted (according to mtab)
Trying to mount USB device /dev/sda1 as /media/usb_msd
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device
Trying to mount USB device /dev/sda as /media/usb_msd
mount: /dev/sda is not a valid block device
Error: Unable to mount USB device.

Any ideas?

is your usb drive formated in fat32? if so, create a directory called "images" in the root dir and copy your image to that dir. try again with:

Code:
getflashimage file:///media/usb_msd/images/FFXCP1115.tar.gz

also check the docu:
