[DSM 6.2.3 Juns Loader 1.04b 918+ booting from dedicated SSD]

Yeah no not in this case, i used an old gigabyte brix 2955u which was not able to run esxi due to lack of resources, could only run esxi 6 and whenever USB sticks are connected they heat up pretty fast so with that i used the internal m2 ssd card for the synoboot img and a 2tb ssd :) and i can back that data up on an external drive whenever needed.

This is for anyone here, i created a small manual for anyone here who want's to give it a try:

 

How to install on m2 ssd and boot from instead of usb.

Get Ven/Dev number from Last know parent:

PCI\VEN_8086 = VID
&DEV_06D7& = PID

Dont rename but let the system think vid and pid are still hardware id's.

 

change in grub.cfg 

s/n:
mac: number of mac's needs to be upcounted

set netif_num=1 fill in number of cards you have and be sure to have mac1: and mac2:
syno_hdd_detect=0 to 1 skipped a part of the new installation and didn't ask for a .pat file

 

So in my case as an example:
set vid=0x8086
set pid=0x06D7
set sn=1780PDN123456
set mac1=001132123456
set mac2=001132123457
set rootdev=/dev/md0
set netif_num=2
#set extra_args_918='earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,115200n8 earlyprintk loglevel=15 memmap=0x1000$223515000'
set extra_args_918=''

set common_args_918='syno_hdd_powerup_seq=1 HddHotplug=0 syno_hw_version=DS918+ vender_format_version=2 console=ttyS0,115200n8 withefi elevator=elevator quiet syno_hdd_detect=1 syno_port_thaw=1'

 

After this dismount in osfmount and use balenaetcher to write to ssd, if you press on the 2nd step it will show you to show hidden drives

and there you will see the option for your ssd, press yes and the you are good to go. only boot in uefi.

 

Sorry for disturbing, i am not such a writer just an idiot
