Tested under ESXi with test disks (real sata disks SHR2 mounted via RDM) on Gen 8 ... only issue is that nobody knows how to change S/N MAC1 MAC2 in the install VMDK (btw, I wait to migrate my main DSM5.2 system with 23MB disks ...)
I experimented migration from Xpenoboot 5.2 to the new loader without issues, system detected a migration, keeping the SHR2 etc. upgrade then to 6.2 with normal procedure from Synology repository.
VMDK to use with ESXi is in #1 topic ... few people have had some problem, then a v10 VM is also available Page 3
Thanks for the Info.
I just want to boot via USB, no VM, I think you call it baremetal. Is that possible? - If so which image can I use, there are so many different ones around here that it is hard to follow.
