Wow, it's been some time since I have frequented here. It also looks to have changed an awful lot since the days I really got involved!
I have dug out a Pogo V4. It looks to be in stock form, with the exception of it running optware. I'd previously enabled SSH, but couldn't remember the password - some playing around in the url command interface got me back in using passwd and deleting the existing shadow file. But, i'm in! From what I remember, the stock OS is fairly restrictive - so most of the files/tools have been copied over via USB as the built in wget is struggling with the SSL of modern sites.
Out of my E02, GoFlexNet and V4 - the V4 is the one that remained stock.
I've got almost all the way through the instructions, but I'm not sure what I need to enter for step e2 - set the mtdparts with setenv.
This was my mtd output when checking it earlier:
And this is what was created in the current_envs text file earlier in the process:
I've not progressed any further on the instructions yet as I thought it better to check.
The end goal is for me to get debian on the SD card (just started looking at that, I do have a few questions), and possibly put a recovery system on NAND - I have no use for the stock OS anymore. I've left the device powered up just incase.
For interest, here is the output of print_env:

e.2 Box specific envs: Then for all boxes, restore these 2 envs using the saved envs text in step c (replace xxx with the real saved values) fw_setenv mtdparts 'xxxxxxxxx' fw_setenv ethaddr 'xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
This was my mtd output when checking it earlier:
[root@Pogoplug /opt]# cat /proc/mtd dev: size erasesize name mtd0: 00200000 00020000 "u-boot" mtd1: 00300000 00020000 "uImage" mtd2: 00300000 00020000 "uImage2" mtd3: 00800000 00020000 "failsafe" mtd4: 07000000 00020000 "root"
And this is what was created in the current_envs text file earlier in the process:
bootcmd=bootp; setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=${serverip}:${rootpath} ip=${ipaddr}:${serverip}:${gatewayip}:${netmask}:${hostname}::off; bootm
bootdelay=5
baudrate=115200
Which I think isn't useful as it's from a stock uboot, so I don't know what to enter for e2, nor what format to enter it in.
