Installing debian on a Thecus 5500 DOM
We recently purchased a Thecus 5500 NAS. Its DOM (~1Gb) is formatted with a custom Linux kernel. I have also purchased 5 HDDs, 1TB each which are to run as a RAID6 unit. Now I want to format the DOM with Debian and I want to have the RAID6 as the main filesystem, "/".
Should I have it installed exclusively on the DOM? Should I have a boot partition in both the DOM and all the RAID disks?
How can I achieve this when installing Debian?

Trying to install the Debian OS (version 8 or 9) exclusively on the 1gb DOM fails even for the netinstall version due to insufficient space on that disk.
Finally I made it work with the following configuration:
- /boot -> on the DOM
- / -> on a RAID6 over the HDDs (500Gb in total, 150 for each HDD)
- /data -> on another RAID6 over the HDDs (2.5Gb in total)
- used for files, music, photos etc.
- Swap on a RAID1 over the HDDs
Finally, I don't know whether it's necessary with modern h/w but I had the "Bootable" flag turned ON in the /boot partition.
