attempt to update the boot to 1.0.0.5 as per update instructions

fails with crc error

suggestions?

Never mind.

Got tricked by Netgear practice to use the same part number for different products by different manufacturers. GS724TPv2 unlike GS724TP does not need boot code update.

Haven't spotted any reference on updating a boot file on the GS724TPv2 / GS724TPP Firmware Version 2.0.8.11 release notes, ways off from the 1.1.1.25 firmware. Mixing some switch models and generations somehow?

Vaguely reminds me to a boot loader update on the much older GS724TP with version 5.2.0.11 dated decades ago.
