I believe you want to run flash-kernel to put your desired kernel in flash.

I don't know about the DNS-320, but I would heartily recommend the QNAP
products, preferrably the ones with official Debian support via
www.cyrius.com.
I'm running two older Qnaps as servers 24/7 with excellent track record.

You should have no problems. The part about boot loader is because grub or
lilo can't be found. That's normal since you boot from flash.
Run update-initramfs -u as root before reboot and you will be fine. I'm not
sure it's needed nowadays, but it certainly won't cause any harm.

Well, you could try to install the ramdisk to flash using the Debian
installer. See http://www.cyrius.com/journal/debian/installer-flash-kernel.
Since the 109 and the 209 are very similar, it might work (they have the
same machine architecture).

I have a raid1 setup on my ts-209 (from the original install). See my fstab
below.
If your raid1 setup is done, just update your fstab and run
"update-initramfs -u && flash-kernel" to update the initramfs with the new
fstab and install the initramfs to flash. I'd advice you to have a serial

Dropping support for nslu2 is fine with me. As noted above, I can continue
