What you are saying is the OS6 installation instructions at http://netgear.nas-central.org/wiki/OS6_on_Legacy_x86 are still valid and recent, is that correct?
That means my steps would be as follow:
1. Proceed OS upgrade from OS4 to OS6 using the OS6 installation instructions at http://netgear.nas-central.org/wiki/OS6_on_Legacy_x86
2. Perform bios upgrade to v2.0 in OS6.
3. Perform the hardware upgrade and replacement of CPU and memory.
4. That's it!Are the steps correct?
No, since I canot get the bios update to work under OS6 (I still have one Pro BE not updated), I suspect you'd have the same issue. Do the BIOS upgrade from 4.2.x first (if you need it), then upgrade to OS6.
Ok, I will modify my steps at such:
1. In OS4, perform the BIOS upgrade via installing the bios update addon at http://www.readynas.com/download/addons/x86/4.2/BIOS_Update_Package_0.5-x86.bin
2. Proceed OS upgrade from OS4 to OS6 using the OS6 installation instructions at http://netgear.nas-central.org/wiki/OS6_on_Legacy_x86
3. Perform the hardware upgrade and replacement of CPU and memory.
4. That's it!
That's all? Thanks.
