Do I need to format manually my HDD ? And install archLinux directly on the HDD ? Are there instructions ?

My printenv command displays "hddPowerCtrl=no". Does it mean that my HDD is not recognized ?

That's a new variable to me. I wonder if they added that in the recent versions. Could try setting that to yes

My install failed, the only way I could get drive to fdisk properly was to do something like this
parted /dev/sdb mklabel msdos
Look at the script you put on the usb stick, it shows how to partition, format, and install rootfs (including moving uImage to first partition of hard disk)

Do it on a another Linux system, maybe with a live cd

Ok. Thank you !

It works now ! I've installed samba

I have only 2 problems :
1. The power button don't works. (Even when I execute the "halt" command, the system halts but the power of the NSA is still running. I'm obliged to remove the electrical feed !)
2. The ssh command don't work. It asks me the password and... nothing ! (I've changed the root password)

Any idea ?

I'm very happy to run archLinux on my NSA320. Thank you for your help. When all will be ok, I will write my "alternative install process" to help other people like me.

1/ the command to power off is poweroff
2/ Don't know. I suppose you can't even poweroff if you can't log in. A usb keyboard will work, type blind logging in and see if poweroff works. If so just ssh is borked and password took ok

[pepedog]

If you get logged in -
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'ln -sf /usr/lib/systemd/system/poweroff.target /etc/systemd/system/ctrl-alt-del.target')
Now an attached USB keyboard CtrlAltDel powers off instead of reboot (you don't even have to be logged in)
