Those models refuse to boot after netinstall V7.6
I suppose there is an issue with bootloader firmware
Any hint or howto ?
Is it possible anyway ?
Thanks
To successfully boot v7, routerboot (bootloader) has to be upgraded to recent version. I’m not sure if netinstall does it (I’m guessing it doesn’t).
So go back to some decently recent ROS v6 and update routerboot. Then netinstall units to v7 again.

I don’t know if latest v6 has RouterBOOT that supports v7, but when I tested it with also PPC RB333 and 6.49.2, which was latest at the time, it didn’t:
Well, in brief on my RB800 :
/system routerboard print
look for firmware type firmware-type: mpc8544
Download 7.8 (current) .npk for ppc from Mikrotik site
Open .npk with 7-zip and look for mpc8544-7.8.fwf file into etc folder.
Extract and copy it into “files” section of your RB800
/system routerboard upgrade
reboot
Now you can upgrade RB800 to 7.8 (current) ROS, I’ve done it via netinstall.
