OK, so I am prepping another Endian box for deployment, and I used the 2.4.1 ISO.

Anyhow, my 2.4 box always presented me with a regular shell, and I could run efw-upgrade from the command line and it works fine (used it the other day). Now, however, I type "0" at the console and am presented with efw-shell, not bash or tcsh or whatever was used previously (this change is noted in the release notes).

No biggie, I just type "efw-upgrade" at the prompt and am told "Invalid command, type 'help' for help". So I do, and I am not presented any options for upgrade, but I do see "Login", so I try it and it asks for my root password. OK. Still no efw-upgrade. So I dig around using ls and find it in /usr/local/bin.

Now I can run it by specifying the full path, but shouldn't be necessary, should it?

Also,  there are no packages available for update? Can it actually be that the problem with updates reported in early December is still not fixed?

After you issue the 'login' command enter your root password, you can type in 'bash' a bash shell.

I just SSH into the box and that works better.

OK, I'll bite. What is the point of the efw-shell? why not just stay with bash?
