Debian, QNAP TS-209 II and what if's and trying to understand
Hi guys,
I'm afraid that I've got some potentially nooby questions and I
apologise if they've been asked before, but I've been unable to find the
answers myself and I'm somewhat new to running linux on embedded
systems, and I feel that I've reached my current level of mad skillz...
Would I be correct in assuming that u-boot chain loads the linux kernel
directly from the hard disk(s) /boot/vmlinuz, in some way shape or form?
In that case presumably if the disk(s) that the kernel are sat on go
away, the environment becomes unbootable? Assuming that's correct the
method of recovery would be serial connector and then manipulating
u-boot's configuration?
Finally, I assume that the only way to manipulate u-boot is directly via
a console session, and that it cannot be modified from a currently
running instance of Linux, on the same machine?
Cheers,
Karl
