Debian on the QNAP TS-409U

<p>

Christmas came early for me this year: after <a href =
"http://www.cyrius.com/journal/debian/orion/d-link/dns-323/ch3snas-is-dns-323-rev-b1">receiving
a Conceptronic CH3SNAS</a> yesterday, a QNAP TS-409U showed up today.
QNAP sent it to me a week ago to ensure that Debian works on it but
it was stuck in customs for a few days.  The QNAP TS-409U is similar
to the TS-409 but comes in a rack case (and with more RAM).  It
seems that QNAP have also changed the layout of the mainboard but
essentially it's still a TS-409.  This means that the installer
works just fine.  Another difference to the TS-409 is that the
TS-409U has two fans but qcontrol works without any problems on
both machines.
