Pro6 back to Readynas after using alternative OS
Hello, I've had my Readynas Pro 6 running FreeNAS quite happily, but now I want to go back to ReadyNAS. I've used OS4 and OS6 in the past, but will opt for OS6 I think. I have VGA breakout and a...
I've just reinstalled FreeNAS from a USB key to another USB key, and that boots fine.
But still no joy with anything 'readynas'
Using OS4 usb recovery tools, as admin. With renamed OS6 image file.
Boots, loads kernel, hangs.
Disappointment
I'm now in the linux prompt having booted back into FreeNAS/TrueNAS. I have a copy of the OS6 firmware in a file, mounted on a local filesystem.
I can see the 128MB internal usb at /dev/da0.
I've tried "dd if=RAIDiator-x86-6.2.31 of=/dev/da0", which wrote fine. But I still couldn't boot the Readynas from this internal USB. I wonder if I need to uncompress the image first, or similar, or modify the dd command, or build any kind of partitions on the USB internal drive.
Any tips?
I suspect I need to trim off the file header in some way, first.
