Package: oldsys-preseed
Version: 3.11
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: Martin Michlmayr <tbm@cyrius.com>

Here is a first try at supporting the Buffalo Linkstation Mini (aka
LS-WSGL) for d-i, in response to advices from Martin Michlmayr.

Right here.

Here is a first try; I don't know what other file to modify. Is there
something to do in tests/arm/?

Furthermore, I don't really see the point with what "unset_matching_var"
does, but the naming scheme for the Mini is indeed the same (i.e. MAC
appended to the hostname).

Please note that I didn't actually tested this code on the device; I
don't know how to test all this d-i stuff.

The Mini use XFS as rootfs too, but /boot is ext3 (which is not of
interest here for oldsys-preseed, but may help for further support of
the Mini). So, I don't really see a point in preseeding it too, as
people having enough skill customizing their box would rather use some
other parameters, IMHO (I didn't even use the original system on this
device, I directly installed Debian; which means that I may not be able
to test all that "backward checking" stuff)
BTW, the uboot command-line tell the kernel the root is on /dev/sda2,
but I'm quite sure the real root is /dev/md1 which is the software RAID1
device formed by /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2. All the informations found on
http://buffalo.nas-central.org/wiki/LS_Mini:_Serial_Port_Output_-_Boot-Log
made me realize that the root fs is /dev/root on the original firmware,
which doesn't help here, but I think the initrd may indeed use /dev/sda2
as a "single" FS (is it even possible if the device is used as a part of
a md array?) before pivot/switching root to the md1 array.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
benjamin
