Different partitions might have completely different settings and even firmware. +- If you reboot to a partition which doesn't allow you to switch boot partitions (like stock Linksys firmware), you might not be able to boot back to OpenWrt/LEDE Project unless you reflash it, loosing all the settings. +- Some devices allow you to trigger reboot to alternative partition by interrupting boot 3 times in a row (by resetting/switching off the device or pulling power). As these methods might be different for different devices, do your own homework. + +## Thanks +I'd like to thank everyone who helped create, test and troubleshoot this package. Without contributions from [@hnyman](https://github.com/hnyman) and [@jpstyves](https://github.com/jpstyves) it wouldn't have been possible. -- cgit v1.2.3
