Baffled by Planet's muilti-boot install firmware card!

[Charlie Stross]

So I decided I wanted to upgrade my Cosmo to multi-boot Android/Linux, and to play it safe (and because I'm dumb) I ordered their micro-SD card with firmware.

Guess what: there are no instructions for how to use it! Or how to reboot the cosmo into recovery mode or whatever it takes to re-flash your firmware.

Does anyone have any pointers? (please no  fscking youtube videos, I just need straight textual instructions. Planet's approach to documentation drives me nuts!)

What do you mean there's no (textual) documentation? Planet has textual instructions right on their support site!

Just skip the SD card preparation instructions as your SD card is already good to go and start from the rebooting into recovery mode section.

Weird -- why didn't I see that?

(I would just like to note the total lack of anything on paper -- or a readme -- with the SD card I received.)

Sure, they could've put something on paper. But on the other hand: they did put a note on the MicroSD page (https://store.planetcom.co.uk/collections/media-books/products/linux-media-installation-card-for-cosmo-communicator) in their store saying "Insert microSD card into your Cosmo and follow instructions on support.planetcom.co.uk." So they already put effort into directing you/customers to the instructions right from the start. So there's your readme.
