Did you follow these instructions ? http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.armel/ch05s01.html#boot-firmware-ss4000e If you reached the end of installation without errors, your NAS should boot automatically from the flash, as a result of the installation process. > I also am not sure how to setup the disks.

The SS4000-E boots from a flash memory on the board. After installing the system the normal way, D-I "copies" the kernel and the initrd to this flash memory. You should see "Flashing kernel/initrd..." at the end of the installation process, don't you ? If yes, the Nas should boot automagically from flash after next powercycling. > Here's what I would like to do: Install debian on the ss4000-e so > that I can install webmin and even maybe some iscsi targets.

Thank you in advance for > any replies. Isn't it with the so called "console" : a program, available on the supplied CD, which must be running on another computer to "detect" the SS4000-E on the LAN and upload it Ipstor by some means (I suppose, never tried) ? However, for your own good, you should better throw away the crapy Ipstor software... Even if the somewhat limited hardware is also impacting performances, you can't go wrong at all with a Debian install on that machine.
