Replace Ubit v0.5 with Uboot and a good kernel for GoFlex Net

Enki,

The Goflex Net arc Number is:
3089 Seagate Goflex Net

So at Debian command line, set it
fw_setenv arcNumber 3089

And reboot.

However, it's best to that you try either UART booting or netconsole first before changing uBoot envs (because a typo would lock you out of the box).

Addendum:

To setup netconsole: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,14
But if you already have working serial console as before, then go ahead with setting arcNumber.

It might be recommended to use ext3 instead of ext2 for the rootfs.

usb_rootfstype=ext3

In case you wan't to boot from SATA drive you could try this:

fw_setenv arcNumber 3089
fw_setenv usb_init 'run usb_scan; setenv usb_root LABEL=rootfs'
fw_setenv ide_scan 'ide_scan_done=0;for scan in $ide_scan_list; do run ide_scan_$scan; if test $ide_scan_done -eq 0 && ext2load ide $ide 0x800000 /boot/uImage 1; then ide_scan_done=1; echo "Found bootable drive on ide $ide"; setenv ide_device $ide; setenv ide_root /dev/$dev; fi; done'
fw_setenv ide_init 'ide reset; run ide_scan'
fw_setenv ide_scan_list '1 2'
fw_setenv ide_scan_1 'ide=0:1 dev=sda2'
fw_setenv ide_scan_2 'ide=1:1 dev=sdb2'
fw_setenv ide_rootfstype ext3
fw_setenv ide_rootdelay 10
fw_setenv ide_root_label rootfs
fw_setenv ide_set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=$console root=LABEL=$ide_root_label rootdelay=$ide_rootdelay rootfstype=$ide_rootfstype $mtdparts $ide_custom_params'
fw_setenv ide_boot 'ext2load ide $ide_device 0x800000 /boot/uImage; ext2load ide $ide_device 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd; run ide_set_bootargs; bootm 0x800000 0x1100000'
fw_setenv ide_bootcmd 'run ide_init; run ide_boot'
fw_setenv bootcmd 'usb reset; usb start; run force_rescue_bootcmd; run ubifs_bootcmd; run usb_bootcmd; usb stop; run ide_bootcmd; run rescue_bootcmd; run pogo_bootcmd; reset'

Cool. However, will your recommendation work with a GoFLEX Net running on an OpenWRT OS? The reason I asked is the setenv usb_root LABEL=rootfs.

OpenWRT is just another OS. Therefore I would expect that booting from IDE can also be used with it. The command setenv usb_root LABEL=rootfs is used for USB booting to indicate which partition shall be used for booting. It is not really necessary for booting from IDE.

Actually it does, in case you have both USB and HDD attached. In that case the disk you want to boot with should be labeled rootfs. Remember usb_root here is just an environment variable, it could be named anything. As long as it is placed at the right place in the bootargs.
