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 the network if you've a DHCP, so the NSLU2 will choose itself IP 192.168.1.77, otherwise look to your DHCP server logs to find the IP attribution
  • Go to the admin webpage, tab administration, login admin/admin
  • Configure ALL network params if you don't have DHCP
  • 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 (5-10mins)
  • 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"
    • I did it from an xterm but exported term mode is pure console so it's better to login from a real text console otherwise the ncurses menu is a bit broken (but still usable)
  • 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 the whole system, on a 6G USB disk
    • This gave only a swap of 90M while they recommend at least 128M
    • So I manually modified the proposed partition scheme
  • Once you defined the new users, it'll take about 2.5h to complete
