Flashing the Fonera Router with a default distribution of OpenWrt requires two files, the kernel image (openwrt-atheros-vmlinux.lzma 704 KB) and the root file system (openwrt-atheros-root.squashfs 1.2 MB). Like previously mentioned, using a TFTP Server on a host machine and standard RedBoot commands on the Fonera might be the easiest way to write the root file system and the kernel into nonvolatile storage (flash memory).
After successfully booting the Fonera and accessing the console via telnet or ssh, displaying the system message buffer by entering the dmesg command, allows the reconstruction of the boot process.
