This one has been in my drafts forever, I thought I would take the time to post it in-case anyone followed parts 1-3.
If you missed parts 1-3 of this post here they are:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Otherwise lets get started!
OK, at the end of part 3 I asked you to make a note of the MAC address assigned to eth1, providing you have it then SSH to your NSA310 and login, then type
pico /etc/rc.local
then edit your file to look exactly like mine below:
Once you have edited the file, press Ctrl+O to write it out, Ctrl+X to exit.
This statement will fix the brightness of your LEDS. Now to set your MAC address to what it should be (instead of 00:00:00:00:00:00)
type pico /etc/network/interfaces and edit your file to look like mine (changing the MAC to your own)
save and exit
now to edit sysctl.conf, type:
pico /etc/sysctl.conf and add these lines:
# Set VM min memory
vm.min_free_kbytes=8192
vm.min_free_kbytes=8192
save and exit
Now for one last edit:
pico /default/rcs, delete the entire contents and type/paste
:
#
# /etc/default/rcS
#
# Default settings for the scripts in /etc/rcS.d/
#
# For information about these variables see the rcS(5) manual page.
#
# This file belongs to the "initscripts" package.
# delete files in /tmp during boot older than x days.
# '0' means always, -1 or 'infinite' disables the feature
TMPTIME=0
# spawn sulogin during boot, continue normal boot if not used in 30 seconds
SULOGIN=no
# do not allow users to log in until the boot has completed
DELAYLOGIN=no
# assume that the BIOS clock is set to UTC time (recommended)
UTC=yes
# be more verbose during the boot process
VERBOSE=no
# automatically repair filesystems with inconsistencies during boot
FSCKFIX=no
# mount /run/lock as a tmpfs (separately from /run)
RAMLOCK=no
# mount /run/shm as a tmpfs (separately from /run)
RAMSHM=no
# mount /tmp as a tmpfs
RAMTMP=no
# /etc/default/rcS
#
# Default settings for the scripts in /etc/rcS.d/

RAMLOCK=no
# mount /run/shm as a tmpfs (separately from /run)
RAMSHM=no
# mount /tmp as a tmpfs
RAMTMP=no
again save and exit
That’s the hardware setup and ready for action now we can install Sab, CP & Sickbeard.
**NOTE** If I get time I will post these steps up, but for now Parts 1-4 are a good place for anyone to start with this

I've read it - and it looks good based on my minimal experience in this area, so I wanted to let you know that your posts haven't fallen onto stoney ground. I just need to be brave enough to do it now!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it Bob, its well worth doing this, I have had it running for a good 8 months now and it hasn't let me down.
ReplyDeleteI do wish the box had more RAM but its great for what it is and if you need any more help at all leave a comment :)
Hi Wayne,
ReplyDeleteI have a NSA320 and I wanted to follow your steps. However, previously, I tried to flashed archlinux on my box. As i am not an expert, I am not able to finish the installation, thus I wanted to follow your blog. Where explanations are clear!
However, when I connect the TTL Serial to USB to my PC, power on the box and use putty, the correct port number/baud rate, nothing appears in the window. Have you experienced a similar problem?
Any idea how to fix it?
best regards,
Tonkiplis
Hi Tonkiplis,
ReplyDeleteI did have the same problem as you with the first cable I used (CA-42) it just would not work at all, the second one I used (DKU-5) worked fine after getting the Tx and Rx wires the correct way around. I got mine from eBay. Good luck! :)
