Boot into Debian without using a serial cable on NSA325v2 (no replies)

Dear all,

I‘m trying to install Debian on my NSA325v2 (V4.81(AALS.1)) to run OMV and worked myself through the rootfs installation instructions on https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096. As I understood it, the bootloader needs to be modified to boot Debian from USB before following the guide. Is this correct? Booting from USB does not work out of the box on my NAS. At least I had no success with the rootfs USB drive I created.

Now I‘m unsure how to modfiy boot parameters correctly without using a serial cable (I currently don‘t own one). Besides I don‘t want to flash a newer uboot as I want to be able to return to stock OS if something does not work as expected.

On https://micha.stoecker.me/p/DNVpwG47 I read that boot parameters can be configured using telnet. Now I have two questions: Is this still possible/recommended and which changes need to be done to be able to continue with rootfs installation?

Are the instructions in https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,46164,46329#msg-46329 suitable for modifying boot parameters via telnet?

Many thanks in advance!
