OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!
Update: It is now unofficially possible using NTGR images to update legacy hardware to os6.X See Post #3, for directions to install 6.2.1 on x86 Ultra and Pro Models. (ARM NOT SUPPORTED by this OS) ...
mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.
Thanks for your very fast answer mdgm !
I think I now understand where was my mistake : I did factory default while making my first reboot after uploading the R6 image.
I thought the uploading and checking through Frontview was at the same time writing the firmware to flash before the reboot. But in fact it's just after !! So now I understand that my factory default was putting back the 4.2.x firmware from the flash to the hard drive thus erasing the 6.1.1 file that was on the OS partition !!
I guess there is a reason why the new firmware is not written directly onto the flash before reboot, but I got confused with the drive swap and "upgrade" from v4 to v6 : that's why I made the factory default at the wrong moment :D
Now.. do I have to wait for the complete erase to end or can I abort it ?
Again, thanks a lot !!
