There is no reason for the word "Debian" in the section 5.1 title.

"NG" commonly stands for "No Good" or "Not Good" in English, so I
wouldn't use it as an acronym for our product.  I would use 'filer' or
'gateway' or 'appliance'.  Or something.  Filer is used other places in
the document and commonly here at Onstor, so that should be OK.

Page 9, I would remove the note about "Goggling", especially since you
probably meant googling.

Section 5.3, "Note that the /etc/onstor/initial-config script is no
longer used...."  Frankly I prefer that method for serial port initial
configuration.  There's no goofy pmtab switcheroo needed, no rebooting
or any of that.  Is there some way we can keep it?  Or make it an
option at flash_install time?  It makes bringing up a new filer in the
lab a lot more efficient.  Also, there wasn't anything terribly wrong
with it except that it requires a serial cable hookup, which we have
plenty of in the lab.  Frankly I believe that it could be used for the
ssh intial config too with a tiny bit of cleverness, leaving the
webGUI as the only user of ncm/cli initial config.

Section 5.4, #3, again, I think you have this backwards.  The SC2
interface is normally a secondary interface usually used just for
cluster communication and all those values would be wrong in that case.

Section 8, #3.  Why would that bring the filer to initial-config state?
