Juniper 10800 KB has good explanation regarding how to format and mount a USB flash drive on a J-series router, but not too much info for DRP process such as using snapshot stored on USB flash drive. Spent some time trying to make a bootable USB flash drive and here are some my own experience sharing.
Note: I am using SRX240H
Step 1: Insert your USB disk into USB0
Step 2: Find out Dev name for your USB
a. Through /dev folder. You have to carefully compare the difference after you inserted your USB
root@M-Prod% ls /dev
altroot bpf11 bpf24 bpf37 cuau0 da0s4 kmem pass1 ttyp1
ata bpf12 bpf25 bpf38 cuau0.init da0s4a log pci ttyp2
bo0s1a bpf13 bpf26 bpf39 cuau0.lock da0s4c md0 ptyp0 ttyp3
bo0s1c bpf14 bpf27 bpf4 da0 da1 md1 ptyp1 ttyu0
bo0s2a bpf15 bpf28 bpf40 da0s1 da1s1 md2 ptyp2 ttyu0.init
bo0s2c bpf16 bpf29 bpf5 da0s1a devctl md3 ptyp3 ttyu0.lock
bo0s3c bpf17 bpf3 bpf6 da0s1c devstat md4 random urandom
bo0s3e bpf18 bpf30 bpf7 da0s2 fd mdctl root usb
bo0s3f bpf19 bpf31 bpf8 da0s2a fido mem rtfifo usb0
bo0s4a bpf2 bpf32 bpf9 da0s2c fileassoc nfs4 smb usb1
bo0s4c bpf20 bpf33 cfi0 da0s3 gblmem nfslock stderr veriexec
bpf0 bpf21 bpf34 console da0s3c geom.ctl null stdin xpt0
bpf1 bpf22 bpf35 cpld da0s3e gpio octpkt stdout zero
bpf10 bpf23 bpf36 ctty da0s3f klog pass0 ttyp0
b. Another better way is show your log messages
root@M-Prod> show log messages
Feb 18 12:25:44 M-Prod newsyslog[11050]: logfile turned over due to -F request
Feb 23 20:45:01 M-Prod sshd[56519]: subsystem request for netconf by user root
Feb 23 20:59:16 M-Prod /kernel: umass1: JetFlash Mass Storage Device, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 4
Feb 23 20:59:16 M-Prod /kernel: da1 at umass-sim1 bus 1 target 0 lun 0
Feb 23 20:59:16 M-Prod /kernel: da1: <JetFlash TS2GJFV30 8.01> Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device
Feb 23 20:59:16 M-Prod /kernel: da1: 40.000MB/s transfers
Feb 23 20:59:16 M-Prod /kernel: da1: 1938MB (3969024 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 247C)
Step 3: Format USB and Label it
root@M-Prod% dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da1 bs=128k
dd: /dev/da1: end of device
15505+0 records in
15504+0 records out
2032140288 bytes transferred in 413.039683 secs (4919964 bytes/sec)
root@M-Prod% disklabel -R -w da1 auto
Step 4: Create File System
root@M-Prod% newfs -U /dev/da1
/dev/da1: 1938.0MB (3969020 sectors) block size 16384, fragment size 2048
using 11 cylinder groups of 183.62MB, 11752 blks, 23552 inodes.

super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:
32, 376096, 752160, 1128224, 1504288, 1880352, 2256416, 2632480, 3008544, 3384608, 3760672
root@M-Prod%
Step 5: Create snapshot and partition
root@M-Prod> request system snapshot media usb partition
node0:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clearing current label...
Partitioning usb media (/dev/da1) ...
Step 6: Boot Off USB
request system reboot media usb
Step 7: Restore the Junos Configuration:
request system snapshot media internal
If there is no access to CLI, follow this procedure to do recovery:

---------------------------------------------
Some useful commands when doing backup and restoring:
request routing-engine login node1
file copy node0:/var/jail/junos-srxsme-11.2R2.4-domestic.tgz node1:/var/jail/
root@SRX% md5 jinstall-ex-4200-10.4R1.9-domestic-signed.tgz
MD5 (jinstall-ex-4200-10.4R1.9-domestic-signed.tgz) = 38032c0e237a65b4cbc86a9c6ab06552
root@SRX> file checksum md5 /var/tmp/jinstall-ex-4200-10.4R1.9-domestic-signed.tgz
MD5 (/var/tmp/jinstall-ex-4200-10.4R1.9-domestic-signed.tgz) = 38032c0e237a65b4cbc86a9c6ab06552

upgrade error I met during upgrade SRX from 10.4 to 11.2:
