Install Debian 11 on ReadyNas 526x
As there are growing issues with Debian 8.x on ReadyNas ( see : https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-ReadyNAS-Users-General/ReadyNAS-628X-KEYEXPIRED-amp-Hash-Sum-mi...
I decided to try this manual
to run Debian 11 with Open Media Vault ( https://www.openmediavault.org/ )
however I have some doubts with :
label CentosFlash kernel x/vmlinuz append initrd=x/initrd.img inst.vnc inst.vncpassword=password inst.headless ip=dhcp inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=CENTOS-8-1 nomodeset
Above is strictly for CentOs and I'm wondering how it should look like for Debian 11 , anyone can help ?

The Debian installer does not have VNC built-in. I assume that he chose Centos in part because it does. For Debian, you could use preseeding (https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Preseed) and then SSH in once it's installed to add VNC if you choose to use it instead of just SSH.

Re: Install Debian 11 on ReadyNas 526x
Not sure if I can install OMV on CentOs (I assume not) thus wonderin if I may connect via PCIe with video card to interact with Debian as here ( in japanese however google transtaors is good enough 🙂 ) :

On a 526x, I believe you can. I've never had my hands on one, but the photo of the rear looks like it has a PCI slot. But most ReadyNAS do not have a PCI slot, so not everyone could follow your lead.

Re: Install Debian 11 on ReadyNas 526x
Ok, I've just recieved connector (PCIe x16 >> PCIe x1) and was able to enter to 526x BIOS settings with my video card, and after pluging in USB I was able to select this USB as boot thus it seems that I'll be able to start with Debian installer from this USB.
Prior any changes I need to backup all my data 🙂

Re: Install Debian 11 on ReadyNas 526x
Have a look here for a detailed guide to installing OMV7 on a RN526X/RN626X:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SR14a0SKtHrpQTAg4EwanduA4x9SgDq7bFGqyVhjCGM/edit?usp=sharing
A serial console via the Micro-USB port is way more convenient than installing a PCIe graphics card (which is fully possible on these units as a temporary solution. You cannot mount the GFX card permanently due to the offset position of the PCIe slot)
