Notes
1) The above diagnostics commands can also be run from a Telnet Command line e.g.
diag prepare_for_upgrade
2) Some packages need to store files in flash rather than on the disk so that they are available before the Humax software starts. Upgrades to 1.02.27 or later can overwrite these flash locations. Prepare_for_upgrade stores copies of the custom files in another flash location so that they can be automatically restored later. (See fix-flash-packages for problems with redring, undelete, portal-xtra1, ir etc)
3) To view the content of a diagnostic option enter e.g. http://hummypkg.org.uk/diag/boot2fix
