Hi,
I've been a happy "customer" of XPEnology years now.
Till now I was using ESXi on my Gen8 for my setup but since I bought a new server I thought to use XPEnology on a baremetal installation.
Whatever loader I use, the box cannot get an IP hence I cant detect it using find.synology.com or the assistant.
What I do:
download ex V1.04b loader
Using OSFMount mounting the img on my pc and edit the grub
Set vid=0x0424 and pid=0x4030
Set a serial number generated through https://xpenogen.github.io/serial_generator/index.html for DS916+
set mac1 and mac2 (Capital letters right?)
set netif_num=2
set timeout='4'
Then using SD Card Formatter, I formt my MicroSD card
and using Win32 flashed the image on my sd
I replicate the bios setting as mr9v9 suggested
And then booted from the MicroSD
I get the post screen "Happy Hacking blah blah" but no IP. What do I do wrong here? I tried several loaders but still same issue. So I supposed Im missing something.
