Hi Mijzelf, I inserted one of the original HDD's from the NAS into a linux box so I could mount it and copy the sysdisk.img you provided (md5sum: 12427e0a1c921f9bd7819a3736228628). The sysdisk.img was the only file on the HDD. I was concerned this might not work since the 12427e0a1c921f9bd7819a3736228628 md5sum does not…

Hi Mijzelf, Thanks for keeping me honest - sadly, I was looking at the wrong block of code (it was late for me -- that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it :p). When I tested at the command line I realized the block of code I had been looking at was running "grep -v" to exclude all the lines containing "USB DISK": / # export…

Hi Mijzelf, Thanks for the continued help. I reviewed the script you provided which has really helped me relate to the log messages I was seeing during boot. I see the following block: ### Check USB key USB_CHECK_TIMEOUT=10 check_time=0 echo -n "INITRD: Trying to mount NAND flash as Root FS" while sg_map -x -i | grep…

Hi Mijzelf, I've done a quick initial review of the logs, which I have attached, and am a little puzzled by what I see. I've tried booting the NAS two ways: * Without the original drives mounted (log file: zyxel_console_log_no-disks.txt) * With the original drives (unmodified) re-inserted (log file:…

Hi Mijzelf, For some reason, the first set of cables didn't work for me, so I ended up getting the following: CP2102 USB 2.0 to TTL UART 6Pin Serial Converter with Cables I struggled with that for a while, even resorting to getting my multi-meter out to confirm the expected pin-outs on the NAS before resolving it the way I…

Hi Mijzelf, Thanks again - I've ordered the cable and will let you know what the console output tells us once it arrives. Cheers, Orlando

Hi Mijzelf, Thank you for your continued support, very much appreciated. I tried with the 2015 zipfile, following the same approach I outlined earlier, but unfortunately got the same exact same results I reported in my last update. I explored the links you provided and did some additional experimentation but sadly to no…

Hi Mijzelf, Thanks so much for the pointer. I haven't had much luck so far, so I'm wondering if I'm following the README correctly. Here's what I've done: * Downloaded universal_usb_key_func-2013-03-21.zip and expanded it to a "usb_key_func-2013-03-21" directory on my hard drive * Formatted a 32Gb thumb drive to FAT32 *…
