Ok now I've disconnected the SSD drive and reconnected the original raid drives.
Rebooted the system, and it shows up in find.synology.com
it gives the option to migrate data...but
Still asking for an update, but it allows you to provide a pat file rather than download the latest.
Tried using the one provided in the tutorial, but the system will not allow it - "must be 23739 or later"
so I got Jun's 1.03b loader so it can handle the 23739 update.
went to the synology archive and navigated to the 23739 folder, got the ds3617 pat file
rebooted the machine with jun 1.03b
went to find.synology.com and continued the install process, choosing "migrate"
-then on the next screen chose "manual update" and browsed to the 23739 pat file I downloaded
-started the update, machine went through it's thing, and I'm BACK baby!
FIRST thing I'm gonna do is figure out how to enable ssh access
edit: looks like I had changed the port number, which was why I couldn't access on the standard port 22. Gonna save a putty session profile now.
