Nsa325 v2 - Debian install - stuck

So
I'm trying to install Debian on my Nsa325 v2

I've followed the instructions at : http://zyxel.nas-central.org/wiki/Debian_on_325

I'm using the Kirkwood 3.14 kernel
and the uboot that the page links to.

I've successfully made the Nsa325 v2 look for a USB to boot by using the uboot provided.
It boots from the USB that i've created with the ext2 and ext4 partition, but i end up in (initramfs) with this:

1. You are running stock u-boot. Hence the approach people use is 2-partition drive so they can use ext4. This is no longer necessary if you install new u-boot (see my signature for kirkwood u-boot).

2. Multiple partitions will cause this booting problem if not set up properly. See my signature about booting process.

I'd suggest that you start with a new rootfs formatted with single Ext3 partition. Put the 3.14 or 3.16 rootfs on it. Boot into Debian and then install new u-boot. After that Ext4 can be used for rootfs and kernel.

Thank you bodhi, for the quick response.
I will try this as soon as possible!
