Generally speaking, any newer computer knows when to crossover and when not to, so that shouldn't be the problem (but it might!).

We actually got stuck at the rebooting point, and I'd never seen it before. We found a couple things. First, the battery was nearly dead. Next, the cRio wasn't being powered from the 24V on the power distribution board. Fixing those allowed a reimage (wierd huh?).
