Hello Sirs,
Thank you very much for your guide. I am thinking of building a universal USB Creation Tool which would obtain automatically the VID/PID, MAC ADDRESS and so forth and modify the IMG automaGically.
However, I am having two questions, hopefully you can answer:
1. Usually, most tutorials are telling to modify the MAC Address of the computer we plan to use as DIY NAS. In your video you did not mention that, so I was wondering should I be editing and adding the actual MAC ADDRESS/ADDRESSES if several detected, or it is OK even if we don't do that? I've seen you did not modify the MAC address in your video, but you might have it pre-saved in a previous attempt from your bootloader image.
2. My dedicated for the coding & dev PC has Killer E2500, and I am not sure if that is the reason, however I am able to boot from the newly created USB, but I am not seeing my PC obtaining an IP and being detectable/accessible even though I've made a DHCP reservation of the MAC in my Netgear Router, and it works like a charm under Windows, Linux, BSD, macOS etc. so it is not a network related issue upon NON-SYNOLOGY boot. Would you have some experience if there is a list of network chipsets/vendors that should be avoided for a build of NAS?
I am attempting to rebuild the USB again adding my single network adapter MAC address as well as the proper VID/PID so if I don't obtain an IP again, I will try to install one of my old and faithful Realtek 10/100 to see if that would resolve the issue.
Any feedback and/or suggestions are more than welcome.

Hi, in the grub.cfg file, is there a need to set the mac1 address? How does it pick up an up address?
I didn't see that in this video, but saw it on other videos.
