NOOKcolor

I guess I don't really need to post any tutorials on the NOOKcolor. The nice folks over at XDA have done it all for me.

Is This the New Verizon iPhone 4?

Is This the New Verizon iPhone 4?

No it's not. It's a regular iPhone with a sticker on it, and 20,000 page views for Gizmodo. I wonder how much marketing money that equates to...

SS4200-E FreeNas

I finally broke down and bought and SS4200-E from Amazon.

Due to the limitations of the firmware that comes with it, I planned on using FreeNas.

I scoured the internet for a simple way to put FreeNas on a box without a video card. Lots of sites mentioned buying a PCIE 1x video card or making your own RS-232 cable. To me these options were too costly or too time consuming.

In order to use a bootable USB stick you have to somehow log into the box and change the Bios settings. I came up with an easier way.

Step 1. Plug the included DOM into a desktop IDE port and make sure not to boot from it.

Step 2. Download the latest embedded image of FreeNas.

Step 3. Download PhysDiskWrite.

Step 4. Open a cmd.exe window. In Vista or 7 make sure to open the cmd.exe as administrator.

Step 5. Run physdiskwrite freenasembedded.img

Step 6. Select the DOM drive number. Make sure to select the correct drive!

Step 7. Reboot your computer and set the DOM as the boot drive

Step 8. Set the IP address as you like.

Step 9. Put the DOM back in the SS4200.

Step 10. Have a beer.
