I don't see the need to touch the boot_script_data at 6:37, and I
believe that loading both .pkg and initrd + zImage is redundant.
In my understanding, .pkg is to flash the firmware from the Ipstor
interface and the two other files are to boot it by manualy loading
what is needed. You shouldn't need to do both (though doing it seems
harmless).

Steps 1 and 2 are probably redundant (at least in my understanding. I
installed mine last year by only loading initrd/zimage by tftp.)

Yes, the problem occurs at 9:36 in your vid : your exec is exec'ing
nothing...
Could you try to enter this line at the above RedBoot prompt :
exec -c "console=ttyS0,115200 rw root=/dev/md0 mem=256M@0xa0000000" -r 0x01800000
(or without the "-r ..." parameter.)
Warning : replace "/dev/md0" with your real root device if it's
different. (The vid takes the first raid array for the root fs,
so I assume it's md0, but not sure.)
If the nas boot normaly with one of these lines, we should figure a
way to get it back in the boot_script_data to boot automatically.
So, does it work ?

I don't understand why do you do this at the begining of the vid ? You
type fconfig to edit boot_script_data, but you cancel it with "n".
Don't type fconfig at first ;)
Hih,
