[DSM 6.1.x Loader]

All I did was use Starwinds v2v converter and convert the img to VMDK.  I edited the grub first though to change serial, timeout, which boot line to default to and then finally added the command to hide the IDE drives so DSM only shows the sd(x) drives.

 

Once you have synoboot.VMDK, upload it to the datastore and then replace the current 50MB VMDK in your VM...IF in doubt, create a new vm  to test.

Do you also know how i could update my 5.2 to 6.1 with the new vmdk if i used an ISO to boot from? :S

I did a fresh install on Esxi 6 with the 1.02a 3615 loader. All ok so far

 

How do I update my loader to the newer 1.02b, in anticipation for the next update from Synology?

How? How the hell do you get it to boot of the 1.02b .img file?
