I can disable the dhcp server on the router, but will it be enough?
Anyway, it's worth a try.

No idea. I think no, honestly, but I can try. Solution one looks simpler.

I still have the mtds so I can create that image. I think that some
information varies depending on the model, but I'm not sure.

Yes, he can press reset :)

That would be harder I believe.
Anyway, just to check if I've well understood: if I manage to put the
nas in recovery mode and make it load an image from tftp then the serial
console won't be needed?
But the recovery image comes from QNAP, so Debian is more or less erased
anyway? Is there a way to make it boot Debian again without loosing data
and without reinstalling the system. I can reinstall the system I
believe, but I'd like at least the partition in the hdd with all the
data to survive.
thanks,
Iacopo
