Does anybody know how to get into the diags menu on a Paperwhite. I have explored it TWICE, and yet, I cannot remember how to get there now.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I remember now. After installing NiLuJe's simple usbNet repackaged for the PW, I did "idme -d --bootmode diags". It is nice that amazon added the "-d" parameter to idme, when booting from main (unlike the K4 and K5 where it was only available in diags). I was planning to add a main startup script that looks for /mnt/us/ENABLE_DIAGS and changes bootmode to diags before restarting.
