Hello everyone,
I would like to give OpenWRT or maybe Debian a try on my NAS from Zyxel (NSA325v2).
According to the instructions (https://openwrt.org/toh/zyxel/nsa325 1), the u-boot.kwb from 19.x.x release is bugged and won't allow access to any mass storage, so it is recommended to use the latest 18.x.x version.
Now, I hope someone can help me with one or two questions I have:
- Is this information still valid and do I only need to replace the u-boot.kbw or also other files?
- Is it recommended to use the entire 18.x.x release with that u-boot.kwb or can the 18.x.x and 19.x.x be safely used together?
- Are there any known issues with accessing external or internal drives? Given that it is a NAS, the worst that could happen would be losing access to my drives or being restricted in the kind of drives I can use.
- What is the difference between the u-boot found in the instructions (so here) and the one from here?
- Will booting Debian require an external USB stick or an internal HDD to boot? Or will it fit on the system's internal storage?
Any help would be greatly appreciated and if anybody has anything to add or correct as far as installation instructions go, please feel free to comment :slight_smile:
All the best
Alex
FYI: I initially started this thread in the OpenWRT forum but a reply there and Google searching kept bringing me here :)
