TeraStation (and LinkStation) firmware is comprised of multiple parts. Each update contains a flash and a disk portion. The flash update contains the bootloader, kernel and initial ramdisk which is used for emergency mode. The disk portion is for the normal running of the TeraStation. Newer firmware updates (2.01 and above) have the bootloader portion split out to a separate file.
The various portions do not have the same version number. Each firmware release may contain some portions which are the same as the previous release.
The latest firmware can usually be found on the Buffalo Japan support site. The English and Japanese firmware versions appear to be identical. There is an option in the web interface to switch between English and Japanese.
It is possible to create your own custom firmware image.
