Debian on NSLU2

To install, follow the howto, here are the big steps:

• Get Debian 4.0r0 firmware from http://www.slug-firmware.net/ and unzip it
• Power the NSLU2 and wait a bit (green light) before plugging it to th enetwork if you've a DHCP, so the NSLU2 will choose itself IP 192.168.1.77
• Go to the admin webpage, tab administration, login admin/admin
• Configure ALL network params
• Go to the admin webpage, tab administration, login admin/admin, tab advanced, tab upgrade
• Upload di-nslu2.bin, start upgrade
• Wait for "upgrading ok" (5mins) -> wait for 3 bips (10mins)
• This is the last moment to plug an external USB mass-storage if you didn't do so yet
• Login via ssh installer@192.168.1.77 (or another IP got by DHCP...) pwd "install"
• Start installation, manually load the following modules:
  • ext3-modules-2.6.18-4-ixp4xx-di
  • partman-auto
  • partman-ext3
  • scsi-core-modules-2.6.18-4-ixp4xx-di
  • usb-storage-modules-2.6.18-4-ixp4xx-di
• I chose guided partition, using one partition for te whole system, on a 6G USB disk
