New to the forum, hobbyist in electronics and computers since the 70s, US Air Force trained, 11 year veteran, another 11 years as a civilian Computer technician installer for a civilian company in Milwaukee, WS. Retired now, but still actively building Desktops. This is my first crack at NAS building, seems like there's lots to consume. I ready to learn, want to build a setup like commercially made and bought NASes that connect to your routers and are able to broadcast with in your personal network. Currently, bought a Fractal Node304 case with a Biostar X370GTN mobo with RYZEN 3-2200G Processor and 16 gig 3200 ram, 500gig M2-NVME SSD.  Got four 12tb drives and 2 4tb drives in it. Wish me luck!

Nice to meet you.

 

I am the developer of the TCRP-mshell REDPILL bootloader.

The XPE you are trying to build has similar specifications to the second XPE shown in my profile.

Also, I don't know which loader you will choose, but you can also use the bootloader image below, which is linked in my profile.

One piece of advice: Successful installation of XPE begins with the response of the NIC.
I don't know what NIC chipset your Biostar X370GTN MOBO has, but I hope it's compatible.

Took your advice and through trial and error, found the right version, DS1621 and had success. Thanks for the help.
