Hello everybody. I'm a proud new owner of a Wl HDD. I have the hope to make a kind of Wl 500g in a smaller shape, with the fast access to HD.
In the "how to save current firmware" tread, Antiloop tryed to flash Oleg's firmware in the Wl-HDD
As far as I understand, I will have the following steps to take:Originally Posted by Antiloop
1) format a partition using ext3fs using a tool that I would have to copy in the temp directory from the web admin page on a usb key or on the HD
2) copy all files from the latest Oleg firmware root fs to this partition (should I take special methods as I'm working under Windows system?)
3) change the nvram setting to boot from this partition using something like :
nvram set boot_dev="/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1"
nvram commit
If I understand correctly, if the WLHDD cannot find the system on the USB drive or HDD, then it will boot the normal system from internal memory, so I have a rollback by removing the drive and reformating it?
Can I do all this from the web interface, or I need telnet access? I couldn't start telnet until now as busybox doesn't give me any output (I'm using the one from Oleg's firmware)
Can anybody tell me if my asumption are correct and correct them if needed?
Thanks a lot
PS: As Antiloop tryed it, is it a viable solution to work with Oleg's firmware, if I'm ready to access the WL HDD from wireless and let the lan port be a wan port?
