I finally got this working on FreeNAS after MUCH trial and error and wanted to improve upon your instructions: We'll assume that one can install FreeNAS using any if the available guides on line. I literally downloaded the iso, burned it to a thumb drive, stuck it in a computer with a second thumb drive available as the install location, and followed the prompts. Now then, what you want to do is create a Virtual Machine UEFI-CSM is the important selection to make note of here I chose 4 vcpus and 4 GB of RAM I chose as much of the available free space that I could since I prefer Synology's interface These were defaults for me I left this blank Then you can confirm the options and submit At this point, before you can start it, you have to add the particular IMG you will be using as your boot drive as a raw file. (I put it in a location in the storage pool so that I could browse to it.) Only DS6315 1.03b and DS6315 1.02b worked for me. From here, change the Device Order so that the Raw drive is loaded first, and then turn it on. In a few minutes, the VM will load, and you can use the Synology Assistant to find it on your network. You can also look at the serial console for informational messages during the boot process.
