Please add the following to the release-notes on armel in the upgrade
section:
HP mv2120
The default u-boot settings from HP no longer work with Debian 9.
Before you can upgrade to Debian 9, you have to change some settings
in the u-boot configuration. The required changes are documented on
the [Debian on HP
mv2120](http://www.cyrius.com/debian/orion/hp/mv2120/uboot-config/)
page.
or if you don't want to link to an external page:
HP mv2120
The default u-boot settings from HP no longer work with Debian 9.
Before you can upgrade to Debian 9, you have to change some settings
in the u-boot configuration.
If you have serial console access to the mv2120, you can run some
commands in u-boot. Simply interrupt the boot process by pressing a
key and type the following:
setenv loadAddr 0x0600000
setenv bootcmd 'bootext2 0,1:1,2 0x0600000 /boot/uImage /dev/sda /dev/sdb'
saveenv
If you don't have a serial console, you can make the changes from
within Debian. Run the following commands:
cat >/etc/fw_env.config <<EOF
/dev/mtd0 0x00000 0x1000 0x20000
EOF
fw_setenv loadAddr 0x0600000
fw_setenv bootcmd "bootext2 0,1:1,2 0x0600000 /boot/uImage /dev/sda /dev/sdb"
This creates a config file so the u-boot environment can be modified
and uses fw_setenv to update two boot variables.
