The flash-debian script hardcodes a list of supported devices to be on
the safe side (and to ensure you've downloaded the correct installer
image) but apart from that the TS-221 should work out of the box.

I haven't documented it yet because I've so far not been able to find
anyone who can test Debian on this device.

It would be great if you could do the following:

1) Make sure the recovery mode works (just in case)

In the QNAP firmware, run this command and copy F_TS-221_debian to
another machine:

cat /dev/mtdblock0 /dev/mtdblock4 /dev/mtdblock5 /dev/mtdblock1 /dev/mtdblock2 /dev/mtdblock3 > F_TS-221_debian

Read http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/qnap/ts-219/recovery/ and
try if the recovery mode works.  I assume the right prefix to use is
F_TS-221.

2) Flash Debian installer

Use the official kernel and ramdisk and use the attached flash-kernel
script.

I believe the installer and Debian should work out of the box.
