Looks like Synology caused a backlash with their new requirements for hard disks.

Re: Debian on Synology DS112 v10j - 2 months ago
BayPanard, If your rootfs is on HDD, you don't need to use the USB drive. Basically, the boot.scr should be on /boot of whatever system you are running on the DS112. " "Debian rootfs" could be the USB or HDD that you are booting with. Quote2.

Re: Promwad-ThinClient - can't boot 6.11 kernel - 2 months ago
For the new u-boot, 1. UBIFS should be easy. 2 .Graphics is not possible due to lack of driver. 3. USB might be possible, but that will remain to be seen. Currently the power regulator in kernel is not working as we want. There is only enough power to use 1 USB flash drive.
