Readynas Pro 6 won't boot

Hi,   Since years I am a happy ReadyNas Pro 6 owner. Half a year ago I upgraded the ReadyNas Pro 6 to Readynas OS6. It worked just fine and fast!   A month ago I stared to have some disk problem...

    Thanks to the great help of mdgm my Readynas Pro 6 is running the lastest Readynas OS6 again!

     

    I ended up using dd on a debian life boot disk to dd flash the image mdgm supplied to me back to the internal flash.

     

    After that I mounted the partition and copied the supplied serial number file to the internal flash.

     

    Mdgm, thanks for you great support!

     

    Kind regards,

     

    Michel

But wouldn't that also include the serial number, efffectively cloning my Pro to yours for ReadyCloud and such?

I'm not 100% sure, but it would be quit silly if Netgear would have stored it on flash.

 

I presume it is stored in the hardware (bios or eeprom or something like that).
