Portege R830-13C Bought a refurbished Toshiba Portege R830-13C laptop, on first boot I pressed F2 and set the BIOS to boot from CD, I then put in my OpenBSD 5.3 CD, and installed OpenBSD 5.3. I then downloaded and installed OpenBSD 5.4-beta. The plan is to have this laptop dual booting between OpenBSD and Debian. Installed debian in the first partition of the disk. Getting GRUB to play ball was a nightmare - the documentation did not mention the solution: menuentry 'OpenBSD' { set root=(hd0,openbsd1) chainloader +1 boot } This needs to go in the 40_cutom file,then run: update-grub to update the appropriate grub files.

NAS Purchased a diskless ReadyNAS and two Toshiba 2TB external disks (Toshiba 2TB StorE Alu2 External Hard Drive from eBuyer quick link 234952 ), which I stripped down and put the disks in the ReadyNAS. Initially I had some issues with the ReadyNAS reporting "corrupt root" this turned out to be due to the disks not been set to boot in the disklabel, once set the disk to boot using fdisk on Debian, the unit installed the OS correctly on the drives. ssh Add-on Installed the ssh add-on which allows ssh access to the ReadyNAS: Linux FileStore 2.6.31.8.duov2 #1 Tue Aug 28 11:21:02 HKT 2012 armv5tel GNU/Linux Last login: Thu May 2 14:57:24 2013 from 192.168.5.9 root@FileStore:~# Still need to test backing up Beth's iPad…
