I tried that sort of install on my MV3100 and it basically flopped.

What I had to do was write out the boot to a spare drive (in my case sd4).
The boot was from 1.4.1 or 1.4.2 or 1.4P (forget which, exactly right now,
but I THINK it was the 1.4.2 boot).

Then boot that, BUT, rather than installing the 1.4.2 stuff I ftp installed
the 1.4V stuff, and it seemed to take fine.

It is running well now, on my box.
