ok …. after a very frustrating experience trying to access RedBoot on my slug I have no idea on how to login now.

I have the ‘RedBoot>’ promt and am trying to unsling using the username ‘root’ and password ‘uNSLUng’

Bit confused why you needed to access Redboot – as per the NSLU2 wiki:

The main reason for accessing the RedBoot bootloader is when you are attempting to Recover From A Bad Flash.

Your previous posts don’t mention that it’s all gone pear-shaped which would presuppose that you shouldn’t need to be in redboot (except of course to check that you *can* access it.) Certainly, you don’t unsling whilst in Redboot & maybe that’s confused you… 😕

To confirm, to unsling you should follow the instructions in the readme that’s here: http://www.slug-firmware.net/u-dls.php (along with the firmware itself) and in conjunction with Rich’s how-to in order to get firefly on the slug.

good luck!
