Well, I shouted "victory" too soon. While installing Linux, I did not understand why the partitions were shown as "linux-raid" and lost any possibility of reverting to the original software. The updated u-boot, which support pure gpt prevents from reinstalling the base software. It is fine with Debian though. I do not know if anybody still has the original 1Tb box and woulby Jmax - Debian
Hi bodhi. I did some more testing after determining that bootrom was version 1.21. kwboot works fine with the first image uboot.2017.07-tld-1.goflexhome.bodhi.tar that mentioned using the same processor, booting proceeds and give me a totally functional debian system. I am not even sure I need to go any further, the stock N1T1 uboot supports hybrid mbr/gpt, it could as well support plain gpby Jmax - Debian

Hi bodhi. Would the latest u-boot allow booting from a pure gpt system ? I would actually feel better without the hybrid mbr/gpt. Could it allow booting from 2 different gpt partitions whether a usb stick is connected or not (might even be empty, just present) ? If it is the case, I do have jtag + serial adapter and could do the testing being one month retired with time to spare. Regards.by Jmax - Debian
Hi bodhi. It turned out to quite easy. printenv gave me all the pointers to solve this little problem. I did it so : - tar'ed the original file system and saved it on my PC - deleted all the files/directories and untar'ed the Debian file system at the same place. - saved the original environment on my PC - modified bootcmd_hdd from bootcmd_hdd=run read-kern; setenv bootby Jmax - Debian

Thanks for the answer, I would never think about keeping the root directory on external usb stick, except maybe for testing. I still have to understand how to install and run from the partition which contains the "mby Jmax - Debian
Hi. I do not expect more people to come for information on this old thread, but it seems the best to tell about my experience and give feedback. First, let me thank you for all that astounding work. I could not believe that one could run a recent Debian on such a machine, very limited in resources. I got a used N1T1DD1 some years ago but did not find too much use to it, the 1 Gb disk beingby Jmax - Debian
