Raidar used to show 'corrupt root' until I pulled the disks out.
It doesn't look like a flash problem to me, it appears to be disk related. Note the NAS boots from the disks - generally from the first disk it finds. Corrupt root can sometimes be fixed with an OS reinstall. Though it would be good to test the disks with vendor tools (particularly disk 1).
I'd wait on the DHCP issue untill after the disk problem is resolved.
