Nodegrid OS Upgrade Path

Due to the increased size of newer Nodegrid OS images, it is important to go through an intermediate version if upgrading from an older, smaller version.  The intermediate versions that increase the boot partition size to meet these newer requirements are Nodegrid OS v4.1.6 and v4.2.4.

The tables below detail the recommended upgrade paths.  First find the table associated with the current version.  Then find the line related to the desired upgrade version.  This line will indicate if an intermediate version is recommended and which intermediate version to use.
