Terastation Boot messages

Boot Messages (1.03)
This boot log was from a v1.03 UK 1.0TB TeraStation set to RAID5 mode.

When the TeraStation boots, it first runs the bootloader (from flash):

******* Product Information ******* -- Product Name: HD-HTGL(YOSHIMUNE) VER: 1.05 Date: 2005/2/10 14:32:33 -- Firmware check:done. >>root=/dev/hda1

If you are quick enough (send CRTL-C iirc) you could change the bootloader parameters here. Unfortunately you can not delete anything. But you can add more parameters. It will not help as the kernel ignores the commandline passed from the bootloader (see the 10th line of the kernel boot log).

If the bootloader is not interrupted or you press enter, it loads the kernel and the initrd from flash: Now Loading...done.

After that it boots the linux kernel:

When the Terastation boots, it first runs the bootloader (from flash):

******* Product Information ******* -- Product Name: HD-HTGL(YOSHIMUNE) VER: 1.04 Date: 2005/1/24 14:22:36 -- Firmware check:done. >>root=/dev/hda1

If you are quick enough (send CRTL-C iirc) you could change the bootloaders parameter here. Unfortunately you can not delete anything. But you can add more parameters. It will not help as the kernel ignores the commandline passed from the bootloader (see the 10th line of the kernel boot log - shown in blue).

If the bootloader is not interrupted or you press enter, it loads the kernel and the initrd from flash: Now Loading...done.

After that it boots the linux kernel:

The system has booted and you can now login as admin, with the password you configured using the windows setup tool. Once logged in you can explore the [http:/ls-lR/1.04/ file system].

Boot Messages (1.05)
When the Terastation boots, it first runs the bootloader (from flash):

******* Product Information ******* -- Product Name: HD-HTGL(YOSHIMUNE) VER: 1.05 Date: 2005/2/10 14:32:33 -- Firmware check:done. >>root=/dev/hda1

what happens than is unknown, but probably the same as with version 1.04.
