Virtualbox on OS6 NAS
Hi all, I know that it's possible to install VirtualBox on legacy x86 NAS. What about OS6? Does anyone knows how to install VirtualBox on OS6? Thanks.

Yes. You need an update: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=387035#p387035
The Ultra 6 Plus uses the same BIOS as the Pro 6: "Pro(6)/FLAME6-MB (0726/v2.0)"
1. Download the add-on e.g. using wget
2. # dd if=BIOS_Update_Package_0.5-x86.bin bs=16384 skip=1 | tar -xv
3. # tar -xvf files.tgz
4. Install flashrom and its dependencies via apt-get
5. Use the flashrom command from the install.sh script to update the BIOS.
