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.
I must be confused as per the instructions in the read me text.
I’m at the point where I’ve flashed the uNSLUng firmware and I’m reminded many times to NOT have any drives plugged in and here’s why I’m telnetting: (Step 3, right from the readme.txt)
“3) OK, now that you don’t have any disks attached, you can proceed and telnet
into the NSLU2 using the username root and password uNSLUng.
4) Identify which drive you wish you “unsling”, and plug it in. Wait a minute
or two while the disk is mounted. Check the web interface to make sure
that the disk has been recognized by the Linksys software.
– If the disk has not been previously formatted on the NSLU2, then now is
the time to do that. Make sure that the drive is recognized in the
web interface.
Be patient – it might take several minutes for the NSLU2 to recognize
the hardware, mount the partitions, and verify that the drive is correctly
configured to be considered “Formatted”. Do not continue if the drive
is not marked as “Formatted (ext3)” in the NSLU2 web interface.”
Why does the document refer to Telnetting into the slug and using the web based interface as two different things?
When I read Telnet into the slug I just lookes that up on the NSLU2.org website.
What does this mean, “telnet into the NSLU2 using the username root and password uNSLUng?
Please help
