RN104 crashed and stuck at "booting" or "Updating"[FW 6.2.2]
ReadyNAS RN104 – 5 months old, so now out of 90 day warranty 2x 3TB Seagate ST3000VN000 in XRAID2 mode. Though the 90 day phone/chat support has expired, there is an email support ticket (# 24562661...

Further...
Removing the original disks, and replacing with a single disk, performing a factory default allows the single disk to initialise and the OS is loaded to the disk...
This is smaller than my original pair, so can't be used to recover the XRAID2 array, however, I think it shows that the stored fw image is ok, and that the RN104 is no longer able to write to the XRAID2 3TB pair..
So, OS Reinstall is not working from the FW image on existing disks, unless the RN104 has corrupted the disks.. ?
I've put the original pair back in and left it running OS reinstall over night
