The FLASH command will brick your NAS200!There is no fconfig and no fis command: they have been disabled. Instead of the "fis" command, the NAS200 has a "flash" command. This command copies whatever is in memory locations 0x400000-0x41FFFF (128K) to the upper 128K of Flash memory to update Redboot. The flash command will overwrite your Redboot without warning and will brick your NAS200! You will have to use a JTAG connection and RDC Loader to make it work again. It's virtually impossible to accidentally overwrite the Linux kernel and the rom disk part of the Flash ROM with Redboot commands, so even if you brick your box, chances are that your Linux installation is undamaged and will boot as soon as you can revive Redboot. If not, you will have to find a version of UGUTIL.EXE that allows you to use the redboot "upgrade" command. Unfortunately, although the UGUTIL.EXE program that's mentioned in the NSLU2 section of this website will recognize the NAS200 when it's running in upgrade mode, it won't be able to download an image file: it will say that the hardware is incompatible. However, depending on circumstances, it should be possible to build a modified RedBoot or a modified UGUTIL to perform the task.
