Zyxel NSA 325 v2 - Debian install (1 reply)

Hello,

I became the proud owner of the device mentioned in the subject, because my father attempted to dump it in the trash and I thought it might still be usefull for something. After some searching I got here on this forum and here I am, asking newby questions and hope that somebody might answer.

So I would like to install Debian on this box. I read trough these two threads:
https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381
https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096

If I get it correctly I have to go trough the steps described in these two topic. I started checking steps in the Uboot document and tried the dmesg command which resulted in this:

~ # dmesg | grep -i 'bad'
Scanning device for bad blocks
Bad eraseblock 100 at 0x000000c80000
Bad eraseblock 200 at 0x000001900000
~ # dmesg
reported, assuming 512.

0x000001680000-0x000004640000 : "rootfs1"

Here I stopped as I seen bad blocks, but then I realised that my bad blocks are in the "kernel_1" and "rootfs" part?
This is what I am not sure of and seek some guidance on. Please if you have anything to add as a useful information regarding this install, then feel free.
