Debian-6.5.7 on NSA325 (1 reply)

Hello everyone,

I got a NSA325 for free and want to install Debian on it.
I followed the tutorials and could successful flash u-boot 2023.04 Kirkwood onto it.
Then I followed this tutorial (https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096) to boot from usb. Now, after hours spent trying to do so, I seek for help.

When turning the NAS on, this log shows up:

Wrong Image Format for bootm command

I think it is because of my enviroment variables:

or/and because of the files on the stick itself.

I don't fully understand this system yet. I hope that you can help me getting this thing to run.
