There is some talk about setting up a server for PXE network booting on Debian using TFTP and DHCP. However the Debain version the v4.x firmware version My Cloud’s use is a non standard version using 64K page file. Doing an apt-get on a v4.x firmware My Clouds tends to cause all sorts of problems up to and including bricking the My Cloud.

If one dumps the Debain OS and uses something else like DSM they might be able to run a PXE server to allow for network booting.
