If you get it wrong at this point, debian-installer will still be in
flash so you can start all over.

I'm not too familiar with the Thecus firmware, but I believe you're
right. There should be a module available for SSH access, though.
Have you checked http://onbeat.dk/thecus/index.php/N2100_Resources
Anyway, why do care about this anyway? You could just upgrade to the
latest firmware right before installing Debian, and Debian will remove
the original Thecus firmware from flash anyway, so it doesn't matter
whether it supports SSH or not. :)
