-Taking the <a href=&quot;http://aetbzuijnf.com">ovveeirw,</a> this post is first class+====== ffp-reloaded ====== 
 + 
 +You can boot directly into [[howto:ffp]] 0.5 and run it without firmware. 
 + 
 +**WARNING**: This is highly experimental. A serial connection may be required to track down problems. 
 + 
 +You should install the latest busybox package (>= 1.11.1). 
 + 
 +This does **not** work out-of-the-box with RAID.  You will have to know what you're doing to get it working.  See the [[#RAID Reloaded]] section for some pointers. 
 + 
 +For now, the supplied 2.6.25 kernel doesn't work with Rev B1, because the vanilia kernel doesn't support rev B1.  However, you can use a 2.6.12 kernel from the [[http://www.inreto.de/dns323/misc/|firmware-reloaded archive in the misc/]] section of fonz's software repository. 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 +==== Installation ==== 
 + 
 +Download and install ffp-reloaded packages from [[http://www.inreto.de/dns323/ffp-reloaded/|inreto.de]] 
 +<code> 
 +telnet bob 
 +cd /mnt/HD_a2 
 +rsync -avP --delete inreto.de::dns323/ffp-reloaded . 
 +funpkg -i ffp-reloaded/packages/*.tgz 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +Before the first boot, you need to create some essential files, directories and links. 
 +We assume that ffp is installed (and later booted) from /mnt/HD_a2. 
 + 
 +Create required device files: 
 +<code> 
 +cd /ffp/boot 
 +sh ./make-devs.sh /mnt/HD_a2/dev 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +Create and link required directories: 
 +<code> 
 +cd /mnt/HD_a2 
 +ln -s ffp/etc ffp/bin ffp/lib ffp/sbin . 
 +ln -s ffp usr 
 +ln -s /proc/mounts ffp/etc/mtab 
 +mkdir -p proc sys 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +NOTE: if you want to use optware afterwards you need to make sure that you are using the same libraries used with the base fun_plug. If you don't you may get (with xmail, for example) a complaint about a missing symbol in6addr_any. To resolve this, do the following: 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +cd /lib 
 +rm /mnt/HD_a2/lib # remove symbolic link created above 
 +tar cf - * | (cd /mnt/HD_a2; tar xvf -) 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +Now setup the user database: 
 +<code> 
 +cp /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/group /ffp/etc 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +Note that /mnt/HD_a2 will become the root directory (/) after booting. So home directories in passwd that point to /mnt/HD_a2/... will not work.  
 + 
 +  * Workaround 1: Remove /mnt/HD_a2 from paths: sed -i 's@/mnt/HD_a2@@' /ffp/etc/passwd 
 +  * Workaround 2: Create /mnt/HD_a2 link for use after boot: mkdir /mnt/HD_a2/mnt; ln -s / /mnt/HD_a2/mnt/HD_a2 
 + 
 +Alternatively, /ffp/etc/examples contains passwd, shadow and group files that only contain root (with empty password). You can use these examples if you don't want to use the firmware files. 
 + 
 +Configure network name resolution (DNS): 
 +<code> 
 +cp /etc/hosts /etc/resolv.conf /ffp/etc 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +==== Booting ==== 
 + 
 +To boot into ffp: 
 + 
 +&lt;code> 
 +cd /ffp/boot 
 +nohup ./boot.sh 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +Your current telnet session will be aborted, but you should be able to relogin in a few seconds. You can check the new kernel version with: 
 +<code> 
 +uname -a 
 +</code> 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 +==== RAID Reloaded ==== 
 +If you don't care about the features in the D-Link firmware, and are confident with using [[http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.5/|fun-plug 0.5]], you can join the "reloaded" fun using: 
 + 
 +  * fonz's [[http://www.inreto.de/dns323/misc/|custom 2.6.12 firmware-reloaded kernel]] 
 +  * fun-plug 0.5 installed to ''/mnt/HD_a4'' **or** ''/mnt/HD_b4''  (which correspond to the ``sda4`` and ``sdb4`` partitions) 
 +    * ffp-reloaded from [[http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.5/extra-packages/ffp-reloaded/|extra-packages]] 
 +    * mdadm.  You'll need to run the following **after** reloading: 
 +<code> 
 +    mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +Be sure to tweak ''/ffp/boot/boot.sh'' to pass ''-m 526'' to ''reload.sh''.  This is necessary when booting the 2.6.12 kernel.  Here is my ''boot.sh'': 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +    #!/bin/sh 
 +    set -x 
 +    cd /ffp/boot 
 +    ./reload.sh -I root=/dev/sdb4 -m 526 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +With this setup, I have my Rev B1 DNS-323 reloading into fun-plug 0.5, with RAID1 enabled, and running the NFS **kernel** server. 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 +==== Notes ==== 
 + 
 +  * The included kernel support kernel-level NFS. 
 +  * /mnt/HD_a2 doesn't exist anymore after booting into ffp. You might need to adjust some config files (exports, mediatomb, ...) 
 +  * To boot the ffp kernel using the approach described here, you will need a working [[http://www.inreto.de/dns323/reloaded|reloaded]] module that supports your kernel. The modules included in the ffp-reloaded package should work with D-Link firmwares up to 1.4 (1.5?) on a DNS-323.
