Next step was to open the box, remove the old drive and prepare a new one.
I decided to take advantage of the Debian Linkstation support, so I chose to install Debian Squeeze.
I followed these steps to partition the new disk: http://buffalo.nas-central.org/wiki/Custom_Partitions_on_the_LS_Pro , but I think it is only necessary to create a /boot partition, because everything gets re-done by the Debian installer.
I copied config-debian initrd.buffalo and uImage.buffalo to the /boot partition using these instructions: http://buffalo.nas-central.org/wiki/Install_Debian_on_the_Linkstation_Pro/Live#Download_the_installer
I reinstalled the disk, connected the LS to the network and powered on, getting a green power light and a flickering green LINK/ACT light. 'nmap -sP' showed that the LS had acquired an IP address and was ping'able.
Using these instructions (scroll down to "The Installation"), I used ssh to login as 'installer' with password 'install'. I entered 'sh config-debian', and the Debian installer started up, and proceeded normally.
After package selection and installation, the installer eventually rebooted. I was able to ssh-login using the user and password I had chosen. So far, all looks well.
