Many thanks for the detailed steps. I had tried that previously but didn't have time to come up with the proper generation command + arguments. I didn't want to risk ending up with a brick :) I tried the above from an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS host which has the same version of dns323-firmware tools and generated a new netboot.img, then flashed it on a C1 version DNS-323 device running stock 1.08 firmware (as shipped), and it worked as expected. I took about 10 minutes or so to get back SSH access and the installer showed up (I've attached a screenshot). I followed the steps indicated here under "Installation": http://www.cyrius.com/debian/orion/d-link/dns-323/install.html I've attached a screenshot. F.
