Yeah, sometimes you'll see instructions for "flash-based platforms", but really they only refer to the IP265, which uses different methods for patching/installation/etc.

The documentation isn't always all that great (yet) for flash-based platforms, and some stuff you just have to work out yourself. Some things, like trying to work out which version of IPSO and which CP version you can use are a right PITA, as Check Point and Nokia's documentation is inconsistent. The answers you get from Nokia and CP support vary too, although I tend to trust Nokia's answers on Nokia-related questions.

You run into a few really silly mistakes too, like the bootstrap script where someone referred to Dallas (R60 codename) for the file locations, rather than using a variable for the version, like any half-decent script writer would. That's why you couldn't get cpsnmpd running on a flash platform for a while.

I think (hope) that these issues will be sorted out with the next few releases, as deployment of flash-based systems becomes more widespread.
