I can disable the dhcp server on the router, but will it be enough? Anyway, it's worth a try. > - or could you change the dhcp setup of the TP-Link router such that > the NAS tries to load an image from your debian machine? (Ians post) No idea.

Anyway, just to check if I've well understood: if I manage to put the nas in recovery mode and make it load an image from tftp then the serial console won't be needed? But the recovery image comes from QNAP, so Debian is more or less erased anyway? Is there a way to make it boot Debian again without loosing data and without reinstalling the system. I can reinstall the system I believe, but I'd like at least the partition in the hdd with all the data to survive. thanks, Iacopo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
