You have to pass an IP address to clunc in order to open a network console. If clunc is not running, your Seagate device will continue the boot process. When the Seagate device boots, it will wait a few seconds to see if clunc is requesting a network console. You can now use clunc to connect to U-Boot's network console. Since clunc is currently not packaged for Debian (see the Request for Package), you have to obtain it from the Git repository and compile it yourself: There's a tool called clunc which can be used to connect to U-Boot's network console. We will use this to load Debian installer and to configure the boot loader to boot Debian from disk. The Seagate Personal Cloud and Seagate NAS devices allow you to connect to U-Boot, the boot loader, via the network with the use of U-Boot's network console feature. This warning does not apply to the Seagate NAS (2-Bay and 4-Bay) on which the original Seagate software can be re-installed with a web interface even after you format the disk. We therefore suggest you create a disk image before you install Debian. The Personal Cloud devices come with the Seagate NAS firmware pre-installed and there is no easy way to re-install the Seagate NAS firmware after you install Debian. Please note that the Seagate Central (STCG) is not supported.
