Something is wrong here. If you have a spare disk, try doing a factory install with only that disk in place. Then see if you get the same result.
What firmware are you running?
The last one published.... RAIDiator-x86-4.2.31
OK...changed disk and changed position of the single disk.....

E: Couldn't find package nanoWhy are you using sudo? If you are using root (as you should be) it isn't needed.
On nano, look here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Legacy-NETGEAR-and-Partners-Add/Can-t-install-nano/m-p/931919#M12674
I used it because I found it on a web site somewhere and I dont have a clue why this isnt working. I have previously found the post of the link you sent and uncommenting makes no sense to me so like all the other pages I have looked at I gave it a miss because I didnt know what I was doing.
Never used Vi so no clue again. I am a windows user.
