This is the iso image that should go on the USB stick for the second
method I've described.  For the onie-self-update method you should use
http://hydra.nix.net.switch.ch/RARE/asterfusion/onie-updater-x86_64-asterfusion_x312p-r0

I hope this works. And don't forget to do the "ONIE embed" afterwards.
Once the embed has succeeded, you should be able to check like this:

ONIE:/ # . /etc/machine.conf
ONIE:/ # echo $onie_machine

That should print something like "asterfusion_x312p". If it doesn't,
you should probably try the method with the ISO image and the USB
stick.
