Bodhi,
I went ahead and tried FDT on my netgear stora.
I updated uboot to uboot.2016.05-tld-1.netgear_ms2110.bodhi.tar
I also rewrote the envs following your instructions
With a USB stick formated to ext3 per your instructions with Debian-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 .
I got the following message. I can give you the full output if you'd like. Any ideas?
