onkel bouncy Posted November 16, 2017 Share #1 Posted November 16, 2017 Hi there, I'm searching for a bootable CD Iso file from Jun's Loader v1.02b. The VM from Qnap is not able to use non-persistent HD's, so i think it's a good idea to use a bootable CD with the loader. I hope the loader don't have to be writeable? Every ISO i found is not bootable except the old 5.2 on XPEnology.me. Best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTVRTV Posted December 4, 2017 Share #2 Posted December 4, 2017 I have got it running by installing everything in VM Workstation and then export it to OVF. I imported the OVF in the QNAP Virtual Station. So no ISO needed. It runs very good. I installed it because of Photostation is much better from Synology.

onkel bouncy Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted December 5, 2017 Hmmm .... Didn't need the VM Workstation a working bootloader? I can not imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polanskiman Posted December 7, 2017 Share #4 Posted December 7, 2017 You can't use Jun's loader on a CD. The media where the loader is burned needs to be writeable. Perhaps a re-writable DVD might work and even if that is possible I would strongly advise against it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onkel bouncy Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted December 7, 2017 OK, thank you for your answer. I don't know why it needs to be writeable, but i already found an option to use a bootstick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why it needs to be writeable, but i already found an option to use a bootstick. It needs to be writeable simply because the loader needs to write some data onto the media specially when editing vid/pid-mac-serial number though the Grub Boot Menu configuration menu. Also the kernel contained within the loader is replaced at each major update. If the media was not writeable you would not be able to update. Hope this clarifies it.
