2-a) If you are installing Unslung 6.x onto an NSLU2 unit with Linksys
- standard firmware *or* Unslung version 1.x or version 2.x already
- installed, flash unslung-6.x.bin as you normally would flash new
- firmware (using the web interface "Upgrade Firmware" page).
-
- 2-b) If you are installing Unslung 6.x onto an NSLU2 unit with Unslung
- version 3.x already installed, you must put the NSLU2 into
- maintenance mode before you can use the web interface to flash a new
- version. Just click the "Enter Maintenance Mode" link on the web
- interface "Upgrade Firmware" page, wait for the NSLU2 to reboot, and
- then flash the new firmware in the normal manner (using the web
- interface "Upgrade Firmware" page).
-
- 2-c) If you are installing Unslung 6.x onto an NSLU2 unit with Unslung
- version 4.x already installed, you must put the NSLU2 into RedBoot
- Upgrade Mode before you can upload new firmware. Note that Unslung
- version 4.x has an "Enter Maintenance Mode" link on the web interface
- "Upgrade Firmware" page, but it does not work, so you will need to
- use the instructions at
-
- http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/TelnetIntoRedBoot
-
- to access the RedBoot command line, and then type "upgrade" to put
- the NSLU2 into RedBoot Upgrade Mode. Then you will need to use the
- Linux UpSlug2 tool or the Windows SerComm Upgrade tool to upload the
- new firmware.

- 2-d) If you are installing Unslung 6.x onto an NSLU2 unit with version 5.x
- or version 6.x already installed, you must first put the NSLU2 into
- RedBoot Upgrade Mode. Just click the "Enter Upgrade Mode" link on the
- web interface "Upgrade Firmware" page, wait for the NSLU2 to reboot,
- and for the Ready/Status LED to begin flashing red and green, and then
- use either the Linux UpSlug2 tool or the Windows SerComm Upgrade tool
- to upload the new firmware.
-
- - During firmware flashing, the top LED - Ready/Status - flashes red and
- green (approximately 5 minutes, but can be much longer).
