RN524X Boot Loop

Hi,

I attempted to create a .service file for use with xteve but misspelled xteve (even after testing it I just had to make a change and screwed it)

Now systemd is reading the file and rebooting on error - which of course is the mispelled xteve.

Is there a way that I can boot the NAS so that I can edit the .service file?

 

Any help really appreciated.

kind regards,

jB :manembarrassed:

    You can boot the NAS in tech support mode and fix this.

     

    In tech support mode you use telnet to connect.  The username is root, the password is infr8ntdebug

     

    After that, enter

    # rnutil chroot

     

    That should start the RAID and chroot.  Then you should have access to the OS partition, and you can fix the typo.
