Pogoplug mobile instalation went hideously wrong (10 replies)

So I purchased a Pogoplug Mobile last week and wanted to play around with installing arch linux on to it.

I was following the guide here http://blog.qnology.com/2014/07/hacking-pogoplug-v4-series-4-and-mobile.html and was going well until I ran into this part.

#SET MACADDRESS
/tmp/fw_setenv ethaddr "$(cat /sys/class/net/eth0/address)"

When I typed this in I was getting a error defined message and everything I typed after that I received the same error.

So what do I do? reboot it... and all H&ll breaks loose. :?:

I can't get an IP address on the little black box :( It just blinks green.

So I make a serial cable and putty my way in and the first thing I see is the no mac address set message when it tries to boot.

I go in, setenv ethaddr yadayadayada, I also set an IP address for it and I still can't talk to my little black box via IP/SSH

I went through several post on here trying different things and I'm sure I messed it up even more... I'm stuck

This is what it currently boots up to.

If anyone can help that would be great. I would like to just start over and try again but I think i'm in too deep now.
