Following section documents some additional technical detail on LS-CHL(v2).

Hacking LS-CHL is dangerous and may potentially brick your device, void your warranty, damage your data. Do it at your own risk.

U-Boot

Das U-boot is the bootloader used in LS-CHL device, as well as all other recent Buffalo products. U-boot is stored on the device flash ROM. It is the ONLY thing in flash. A file copy of U-boot is also present on the hard disk's first partition (/dev/sda1) in a file named u-boot.buffalo.

This page, although focused on older Linkstations, documents some U-Boot features that are specific to Buffalo products. Note that LS-CHL's stock U-Boot does not include the network monitor, so it is not possible to control the boot sequence as described there.

The initrd (initial ramdisk)

Buffalo's stock U-Boot loads the initrd from a file named initrd.buffalo on the hard disk's first partition (/dev/sda1).

This page documents how to alter the initrd.
