linkstation HS-
DSGL roughly following the guide here:
http://buffalo.nas-central.org/wiki/Install_Debian_on_the_Linkstation_Pro/Live
With telnet access to device acquired as described here in the 'Getting Console
Access With acp_commander' section:
http://buffalo.nas-central.org/wiki/Open_Stock_Firmware Running config-debian
prior to install produced an error: 'You have to create an ext2 filesystem on
/dev/sda1 or /dev/mtd0' /dev/sda1 IS an ext3 partition in an untouched
linkstation, however it is not mounted directly. The installation has destroyed
the original fstab but something like /dev/disk1-1something was mounted as
/boot. This is sda1 under another name but config-debian does not recognise
this. To get config-debian to work, /boot must be unmounted by 'umount /boot'
and /dev/sda1 (re)mounted as /boot instead using 'mount /dev/sda1 /boot' This
leaves /boot looking exactly the same as before, but config-debian excecutes
correctly and the installation process can be started.
