Don't flip bootpage to downgrade from 6.3a to 3.1.5f

Didn't see anyone that had tried this, so I thought I would. Now I get reboots on Almost There, about 20 seconds into the screen. I'm just going to go ahead and re-image the drive... it was my "spare" HDTiVo. Perhaps it was the incompatible 6.3(x) database format that caused the "new" 3.1.5f software to choke.

Well, fair warning for those of you thinking about doing this to your "main" HDTiVo!

Once you've gone to 6.3a there is no going back to 3.1.5f because the database was changed for 6.3a. You can find that info in many posts.
