I had exactly the same problem this morning.
I had an email this morning from Netgear stating a new firmware is out so I decided to update my NAS.
I tried to log on to the admin page but got a timeout saying it might be busy (it wasn't).
I restarted my NAS twice (by pulling the plug) but got boot failure.
The only way I managed to resolve this is by copying the advice above, luckily I had a spare drive that I could insert to bring the NAS back up again.
Very disappointed in Netgear that I had to resort to doing this, as it's clearly a firmware issue and not a hardware one.
