INSTALL ENTWARE ON WD MY CLOUD HOME (SSH ACCESS, NFS SERVER, OPKG install packages)

It must be one of the 800M ones which are not mounted. you can try mounting all three of them. one of it should be the system.

For anyone starting new, easier way is to use the guide in Install Debian on WD My Cloud home - #20 by ahmedespo
But instead of using the debian package, use the rescue package from Index of /wd/Cloud_Home/Rescue_usb/
This will open a telnet session without a password. You should be able to mount and make the updates without pulling the harddisk.

  1. Turn off your MCH device and remove the power cord.
  2. Plug the USB containing the extracted files from wd-mycloud-home-debian.7z (link in the first post) in the MCH port.
  3. While holding the Reset button, plug in the power cord. (Don’t release the reset button, yet)
  4. The MCH light indicator will rapidly flash and than it will dim to a steady light. (This might take around 20 seconds maybe)
  5. Now you can release the reset button.

The process might take 3 to 5 minutes. The device will reboot after installation.
Don’t remove the USB until your device is discoverable on the network under “wdnas”.
