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.
The Prep add-on is to avoid the need to do a manual factory default. Useful if updating a unit at a remote site or if you'd rather not use the boot menu. If you don't install the Prep add-on the NAS will get stuck trying to boot the new OS off the disks and you will have to do a manual factory default via the boot menu. The Prep add-on places a script which when executed triggers a factory default. The script the Prep add-on leaves is run when the NAS attempts to boot OS6 off the disks just before it would've got stuck without it.
