Re: 2nd try: Thermaltake Muse NAS-RAID (N0001LN) - IOP architecture - HELP requested
So, basically, I must stop the startup sequence at a point where I can gain access to the Redboot prompt. Then issue the commands you suggested, right? Questions: 1. where do I find/how can I generate such a kernel? 2. what happens to my device after doing this test? Will it revert to normal after a power-cycle or do those command overwrite the flash/disk somehow?

Thanks for that suggestion. I've read several recommendations for WD 2.5" drives, so I'd like to go that route. The "My Passport Essential" drives look nice: http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=701 However, there are numerous reviews on the net stating that these drives do not behave like "normal" drives but require a (Windows) driver and a "virtual cd". Is it possible to repartition/reformat these drives using standard linux/debian tools, so they can be used with the slug under Debian?
