-You must follow the steps in this README *exactly*. Do not skip any steps, and
-do not skip ahead thinking you know what you are doing and that therefore you
-don't need to follow instructions step by step.
+ Unslung-6.10 README
If at any time you have any questions concerning the installation or operation
of Unslung firmware, your first port of call should be the NSLU2-Linux wiki at:
- http://www.nslu2-linux.org
+ http://www.nslu2-linux.org
-If you are looking for further Unslung notes - including ipkg usage, diversion
-script details, or ChangeLog information, please consult the associated Unslung
-NOTES file.
+Additional information, including ChangeLog information can be found in the
+associated Unslung NOTES file as well as on the NSLU2-Linux wiki.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are three parts to completing the installation of the Unslung firmware:
- 1 - PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
- 2 - FIRMWARE INSTALLATION DETAILS
- 3 - UNSLINGING DETAILS
-
-
-PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
-
-1) You *must* test telnet Redboot access first before you flash the Unslung
- firmware. Failure to do so will mean you get no sympathy at all if you
- can't access Redboot when you need to recover from a bad flash. See
-
- http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/TelnetIntoRedBoot
-
- - Redboot is the bootloader that runs when the device is first started,
- loading things into memory and starting Linux. By testing your
- ability to telnet into Redboot, you are ensuring that if you injure
- your NSLU2 with a bad flash you should be able to follow the "How
- To Recover From A Bad Flash" instructions at
-
- http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/RecoverFromABadFlash
-
-2) If you want to install any packages, then you must have an external USB
- disk drive or an external USB flash disk. It is possible to make changes
- to the root filesystem in the internal flash storage, but the space is
- very limited. In fact, just running the "ipkg update" operation on an
- NSLU2 which does not have an external storage device of some sort attached
- will most likely render the NSLU2 unusable due to filling up its internal
- flash memory (if this happens then you will need to follow the recovery
- instructions in the previous step.) So unless you are an expert, use
- an external storage device. The remainder of these instructions assume
- that you have a suitable external disk or flash disk that you will be
- using for this purpose.
-
- A few words on selecting which port to use:
-
- Completely contrary to previous versions of Unslung, the preferred port
- for the Unslung external disk as of Unslung 6.x is often port 2. This
- will free up the far-more-flexible port number 1 for other uses.
-
- However, this "feature" (part of the Linksys R63 firmware) may cause some
- small consternation for users upgrading from earlier versions of Unslung.
- But in general, swapping the drives between the two ports will likely be
- the least painful solution. The basic challenge faced by upgraders is
- that *something* must change: if the drive remains in port 1, then it will
- remain mounted at "/share/hdd/..." but the drive nomenclature will change
- from "/dev/sda" to "/dev/sdb". On the other hand, if the drive is moved
- to port 2, then it will remain "/dev/sda" but it will then be mounted at
- "/share/flash/...". What difference this might make depends on each
- individual configuration; check the wiki for possible assistance for your
- particular configuration.
-
- For new users, the following guidelines can help:
- - if you have only a single drive that will be formatted by the NSLU2,
- use port 2.
- - if you have a single drive that will be formatted by the NSLU2, and
- all other drives or flash devices will be either FAT or NTFS, use
- port 2.
- - if you have two drives, and both will be formatted by the NSLU2, then
- unsling to the drive in port 1.
-
- If you unsling to port 2, and later add a drive in port 1 that will
- be formatted by the NSLU2, it will work as expected -- however, the
- drive to be added MUST be formatted by the unslung NSLU2 in question,
- and once formatted, the drive must NOT be removed. (The Linksys code
- will move it's "conf" datafiles to the drive in port 1 during the
- format operation, and thus will become dependent upon the presence of
- both drives for proper operation.)
-
-3) The external disk that you use as the target for package installation must
- be (or have previously been) formatted by the NSLU2.
-
- Since this point qualifies as a "frequently asked question", it is
- worth some clarification here. It is only possible to unsling to
- a disk that has been formatted by the NSLU2 - you cannot unsling to a
- FAT or NTFS disk. In fact, it is not sufficient to format the disk
- using another UNIX system -- in order to be recognized as a "Formatted
- (ext3)" disk by the NSLU2, and hence be suitable for unslinging, the
- disk must be specifically partitioned, formatted, and the partitions
- must contain a specific set of configuration files created by the
- NSLU2. So the simple rule is that if the NSLU2 web interface "Disk"
- page does not list the disk as "Formatted (ext3)", you will be unable
- to unsling to that disk.
-
- For upgrading users, it is possible to upgrade from all previous Unslung
- versions without reformatting your disk -- but not necessarily recommended.
- See the wiki article for recommended upgrade strategies:
-
- http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/UpgradingToUnslung6
-
- The unsling script will not touch anything in /unslung or /opt on your
- disk, so make sure all your file modifications are in those directories,
- as you were warned in the README file in all previous Unslung versions :-)
-
-4) If you want to use a flash disk as the target for package installation,
- ensure that it is at least 256MB, and formatted as above via the
- Linksys web interface.
+ 1 - PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
+ 2 - FIRMWARE INSTALLATION DETAILS
+ 3 - UNSLINGING DETAILS
+
+1) PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
-5) Please verify that any disks you are going to connect to the NSLU2 are
- recognized and working properly *before* updating your firmware (including
- any shares and data you had previously stored.) If not, DO NOT CONTINUE.
- You may want to check out "How To Troubleshoot A Drive Missing Condition"
- at:
-
- http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/TroubleshootADriveMissingCondition
-
- - The only exception to this, of course, are those enclosures that the
- stock firmware does not support, but the Unslung firmware does
- support.
-
-6) If you are upgrading your firmware, you should make a configuration backup
- via the Linksys web interface. The configuration backup can be found
- under "Administration", "Advanced", and then "Backup." The top section of
- that webpage is titled "Config Backup" and "Download" should be used to
- save your NSLU2 Users, Groups and Shares setup to a disk file.
-
-
-FIRMWARE INSTALLATION DETAILS
-
-1) Shutdown the NSLU2, and remove any disks that you may have plugged into the
- NSLU2. Power back up the NSLU2.
-
- - Firmware upgrades must always be performed with *no* hard disks or flash
- disks attached. This CANNOT be emphasized enough. Are you sure you
- unplugged the disks before powering up? If so, you may continue.
-
-2) Access the Web interface. Note that you should use the username "admin" and
- password "admin" for the web interface at this point (as no disks are
- attached, the default username and password is the only way to access the
- Management web pages).
-
- 2-a) If you are installing Unslung 6.x onto an NSLU2 unit with Linksys
- standard firmware already installed, flash unslung-6.x.bin as you
- normally would flash new firmware (using the web interface
- "Upgrade Firmware" page). See your NSLU2 user manual for details
- if you don't know how to do this.
-
- - During firmware flashing, the top LED - Ready/Status - flashes
- red and green (approximately 5 minutes, but can be much longer).
-
- - The NSLU2 will reboot after the flashing is complete.
-
- 2-b) If you are installing Unslung 6.x onto an NSLU2 unit with an
- existing version of nslu2-linux.org firmware already installed,
- you must first put the NSLU2 into RedBoot Upgrade Mode.
-
- - The NSLU2 should still be powered off at this point. If not,
- shut it down again before proceeding.
+a) You *must* confirm that you can enter "upgrade mode" using the Reset Button
+method. This is necessary because once you install Unslung, you will be unable
+to use the web GUI to reflash the device; the Reset Button technique will be
+required to install new firmware, upgrade, or recover from a bad flash:
- - Using a paper clip, push and hold in the reset button which is
- located on the back of the NSLU2 near the power socket.
+ http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/UseTheResetButtonToEnterUpgradeMode
- - While holding in the reset button, press and release the power
- button.
+To upload the firmware, use either the Sercomm Update Utility (for Windows
+users) or the UpSlug2 Utility (for Linux and MacOS X users):
- - Watch the Ready/Status LED, and as soon as it turns red quickly
- release the reset button.
+ http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Main/SercommFirmwareUpdater
+ http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Main/UpSlug2
+ http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Main/UpSlug2onOSX
- - You should now be in upgrade mode which is indicated by the
- Ready/Status LED alternating between red and green.
+b) You must have an external USB disk drive or an external USB flash device.
+There are a number of considerations to take into account in selecting the size
+and type of external device as well as which of the two USB ports to use:
- - Use either the Linux UpSlug2 tool or the Windows SerComm Upgrade
- tool to upload the new firmware - you can find download links at
- http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/InstallUnslungFirmware
+ http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/StorageBasics
+ http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/WhichUSBPortforUnslung6
- - During firmware flashing, the top LED - Ready/Status - flashes
- red and green (approximately 5 minutes, but can be much longer).
+It is important to make sure that the device you intend to use is functional
+with the standard Linksys firmware before you attempt to use it with Unslung.
- - The NSLU2 will reboot after the flashing is complete.
+c) Review any known issues and errata:
-3) Shutdown the NSLU2 (again), attach disk(s), and power it back up.
+ http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/KnownProblems
-4) Verify your NSLU2 is working normally again at this point in the web
- interface. In particular, you should ensure that all your disks are still
- recognized as they were before you updated the firmware (including any
- shares and data you had previously stored.) If not, DO NOT CONTINUE.
- You may want to check out "How To Troubleshoot A Drive Missing Condition"
- at:
+(Hint: read the wiki pages carefully to determine the firmware release to which
+they apply; many of the pages contain information pertaining to older versions
+of Unslung, or even to other firmware entirely.)
- http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/TroubleshootADriveMissingCondition
+2) FIRMWARE INSTALLATION DETAILS
- - If you are not "unslinging", you can stop at this point. *HOWEVER!*,
- the only reason for not unslinging would be in the case of a re-flash
- of the SAME firmware. Even if this is a point firmware upgrade, you
- will need to unsling.
+The installation process is simple, but each step is important. The most
+common problems reported are a result of skipping one of the steps in this
+process, so be careful. In particular, having a disk or flash device plugged
+in when it shouldn't be can mean the difference between success and failure.
- ***** If you do not choose to do the unslinging procedure described below,
- DO NOT install packages unless you are SURE you know what you are
- doing! "Bricking" your NSLU2 by not unslinging and then running ipkg
- is not just a possibility, it is a certainty.
+a) Preparation
-5) Shutdown the NSLU2 and unplug *ALL* attached disks.
+- Install either the Sercomm (Windows) or the UpSlug2 (Linux and MacOS X)
+ utilities on the system you'll be using to upload the firmware.
- - You must NOT have any disk plugged into the NSLU2 when you reboot to
- perform the next part of installation - the "Unslinging".
+- Access the Linksys web GUI, and record your network settings.
+- Shutdown the NSLU2 and unplug all USB cables and devices.
-'UNSLINGING' DETAILS
+b) Flashing the New Firmware
-"Unslinging" is the process of copying the root filesystem of your NSLU2 onto
-an external disk, and configuring that external disk for installation of
-packages. Basically it's a script (stored in /sbin/unsling) which copies all
-the files from the internal jffs2 filesystem onto the external disk and tells
-the internal firmware to load the root filesystem from the external disk when
-booting in the future.
+- Enter upgrade mode, using the Reset Button technique.
-To run the unsling-script you have to be logged in as root (with a telnet
-session).
+- Use either the Sercomm or UpSlug2 Utility to upload the new firmware.
-NOTE: There are two root passwords. One is saved in an internal database file
-called /usr/local/passwd (we know this one - it's "uNSLUng" and used when you
-boot without a attached harddisk) the other is stored in an external file called
-/share/hdd/conf/passwd (we don't know this one - it's used when you boot with a
-external harddisk attached). Later in the process you can change both of
-them. That means: Everytime you boot WITHOUT an attached harddisk you gain
-root-access with the "uNSLUng" password. If you boot WITH an attached harddisk,
-you won't have access until you change the file /share/hdd/conf/passwd.
+c) Verifying the New Firmware
-NOTE about the NOTE: New in Unslung 6.x is that by default the "unsling"
-script will prompt for a new password. This new password will become the
-new password used whenever the NSLU2 is booted without it's disk (replacing
-the "uNSLUng" password), and it will also be the new root password used when
-the NSLU2 boots up with it's disk. If you are upgrading, or wish to preserve
-your passwords just the way they are, use the "-nopw" option with the unsling
-script.
+- The NSLU2 will restart itself after the firmware in installed.
-1) Power up the NSLU2 without any disks connected.
+- Access the Linksys web GUI. The new firmware version will be displayed on
+ the "Home" screen.
- - This only has to be done when you update the firmware.
+3) 'UNSLINGING' DETAILS
- ***** To reiterate, you should not have a disk plugged in at this stage.
- If you powered up your NSLU2 with a disk attached, shutdown the
- NSLU2, unplug the disks, and power up again.
+"Unslinging" is the process of copying the firmware to an external disk, and
+configuring that external disk for installation of packages. In order to
+perform this operation, you need to log in to the NSLU2 using telnet, and you
+need a suitable external disk or flash device.
-2) Enable telnet by going to the NSLU2's web interface and clicking on the
- "Manage Telnet" link (right-hand side), then on the "Enable/Disable
- NSLU2 telnet Service" page, click on the "Enable" button to turn on
- the telnet service.
+This procedure is made a bit more complicated because the behavior of the NSLU2
+can change depending on the presence of an external disk. Specifically, when
+an external storage device is plugged in, the NSLU2 will switch over to using
+the passwords and configuration information stored on that external disk, if
+possible. Since we don't know the root password originally written to that
+device, you must be very careful to perform the following steps in precisely
+the specified order, or you'll lock yourself out of your own device.
- (You can browse directly to the enable/disable telnet page in your
- browser: "http://192.168.1.77/Management/telnet.cgi".)
+a) Gain Telnet Access
- - Note that you should use the username "admin" and password "admin" for
- the web interface at this point (as no disks are attached, the
- default username and password is the only way to access the
- Management web pages).
+- Power up the NSLU2 without any disks connected.
- - Make sure you have **** NO DISKS ATTACHED AT THIS TIME ****
+- Enable telnet by going to the NSLU2's web GUI and clicking on the "Manage
+ Telnet" link (right-hand side), then on the "Enable" button to turn on the
+ telnet service.
- - If you plug a disk in before you complete the telnet connection, then
- the NSLU2 will pick up the Linksys password from the disk, and you
- will not be able to telnet into it. So don't have any disks attached
- at this point.
+- Use your telnet utility to telnet into the NSLU2, and log in using the
+ username root and password uNSLUng (upper/lower case is significant).
- - Make sure you have **** NO DISKS ATTACHED AT THIS TIME ****
+- Do not logout before you go to the next step, or you'll have to start this
+ step over again.
-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.
+b) Gain Access to the External Storage
-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.
+- Identify the drive or flash device to which you will be unslinging, and plug
+ it in to the desired USB port.
- - 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.
+- Wait for a minute or two while the disk is mounted.
- 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.
+- Check the web GUI to make sure that the disk has been recognized by the
+ Linksys software
-5) In the telnet session, run "/sbin/unsling disk2".
- (If you've decided to unsling to a device connected to port 1, you'll run
- "/sbin/unsling disk1", of course.)
+- If the disk has not been previously formatted on the NSLU2, then now is the
+ time to do that.
- - Once you "unsling" to an external disk on a particular port (Disk 1 or
- Disk 2), it is important that you keep that disk continually plugged
- into that same port whenever the NSLU2 is turned on.
+- 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".
- ***** By default, unsling WILL prompt you for a new root password, and it
- will change the password on your disk as well. If this is NOT what
- you wish it to do, use the "-nopw" flag with the "unsling" command:
- "/sbin/unsling -nopw disk2" for example.
-
- For more information on changing passwords and all the places where
- the NSLU2 stores passwords, please see the following wiki article:
+- Do not continue if the drive is not marked as "Formatted (ext3)" in the
+ NSLU2 web GUI.
- http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/ChangePasswordsFromTheCommandLine
+c) Unsling
-6) (For those upgrading from Unslung 3.x only)
- If you wish to migrate your packages from the old Unslung 3.x location in
- the /share/hdd/conf (disk1) or /share/flash/conf (disk2) partitions to the
- new Unslung 4.x, 5.x and 6.x location on the data partition, then run:
- "/sbin/slingover disk1" (if your packages were previously on disk1 and you
- ran "/sbin/unsling disk1" in step 5) or "/sbin/slingover disk2" (if your
- packages were previously on disk2 and you ran "/sbin/unsling disk2" in
- step 5).
+- In the telnet session, run "unsling disk2" if your device is on the USB port
+ labeled "DISK 2", or "unsling disk1" if it's on the port marked "DISK 1".
- - If your packages were not stored in /share/hdd/conf or /share/flash/conf
- (e.g. you had previously moved your packages from the conf partition
- to the data partition), then all bets are off and you will need to
- read the /sbin/slingover script and perform the appropriate steps
- manually.
+- When prompted, enter a new root password - this password will replace the
+ uNSLUng password.
-7) Reboot.
+- When the unsling is complete, reboot the NSLU2.
- ***** DO NOT RUN ipkg BEFORE YOU REBOOT AND CONFIRM EXTERNAL ROOTFS *****
+d) Confirm That Your NSLU2 is Unslung:
- - If you were to run ipkg when the root filesystem is loaded from the
- internal jffs2 filesystem, then you would fill the flash and cause
- your NSLU2 to no longer boot and require reflashing to recover.
+- Once rebooted, open the NSLU2 web GUI in your browser.
-8) Confirm that your NSLU2 is unslung:
+- Confirm that the text at the bottom of the page reads "uNSLUng status:
+ Unslung to disk2, /dev/sda1" (your devices may vary, of course).
- You can verify that your NSLU2 is unslung by checking the NSLU2 web admin
- GUI - you are unslung if the text at the bottom reads something like:
- "uNSLUng status: Unslung to disk2, /dev/sda1"
+- Click the "Manage Telnet" link, and enable telnet as before.
- Also, when you login to the NSLU2, the login message printed will clearly
- indicate if you are unslung, or if something went awry and you are still
- running on the internal flash.
+- Telnet to the NSLU2, and login using the root user and the new password you
+ gave when unslinging.
- If your NSLU2 does not indicate that it is Unslung, rather it says that it
- is running from internal flash, then the first thing to check is:
- - Did you miss step 7 above (reboot)?
+- Confirm that the login message states that you are running in Unslung mode.
-9) Verify that you can log into the NSLU2 by going to the web GUI "Manage Telnet"
- page, enable the telnet service, then telnet in as the root user, with the
- password you entered when you performed the "unsling" operation.
+e) Updating Package Lists and Installing Optware Packages
-Make sure you add an entry to the "The Unslung 6.x" table in the Yahoo group.
-Just use the next free integer for your Unslung number.
+(This is, strictly speaking, optional - but we expect that you installed this
+firmware so that you could add additional software.)
-http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-linux/database?method=reportRows&tbl=12
+- Telnet into the NSLU2.
+- Check that your NSLU2 can reach the internet by pinging www.nslu2-linux.org.
+ (if it fails, check your NSLU2 network settings (on the web GUI pages), or
+ check your router or network configuration to correct this problem.)
-If you make no further changes, your NSLU2 will continue to operate normally.
-But to customize things, you'll be downloading packages and adding stuff to the

<P>NOTICE: The telnet service is inherently not secure. Among other security concerns, the login id and passwords you enter will be sent in plaintext across the network. In order to provide a slightly higher degree of security, the service will not be automatically restarted upon reboot. However, if you do not intend to reboot soon, it is recommended that you use this page to disable the service as soon as it is no longer needed.</P>
- <P>A better solution than telnet for network terminal access to the NSLU2 is to use an SSH package, such as "openssh" or "dropbear". These packages are secure, and will not require any special steps to enable once installed. Openssh can be installed using the standard "ipkg" mechanism: "ipkg install openssh".</P>
+ <P>A better solution than telnet for network terminal access to the NSLU2 is to use an SSH package, such as "openssh". This package is secure, will remove the need to use a web browser to enable access, and is less prone to inadvertent disabling than telnet. Openssh can be installed using the standard "ipkg" mechanism: "ipkg install openssh". No additional configuration is required; the installer will perform all the necessary configuration to setup openssh as a telnet replacement. <B>You are strongly encouraged to install openssh as soon as possible.</B></P>
