How to install OpenVaultMedia (OMV) on WD PR4100 NAS (zerobytes.monster)

As title suggests, I want to ask if someone has experience or know how to install and overwrite the native My Cloud OS with OpenVaultMedia OS, given the following starting conditions (just listing these in case if these matter for this task)?:

  1. Current My Cloud OS software version which is running on the NAS device is 2.42.115.
  2. There are 4 HDDs mounted in the NAS box, but they are not yet formatted.

Also, do I need to remove HDDs before installation or it would not make a difference?

I wanted to go initially with TrueNAS OS, but it looks like the hardware on my PR4100 does not meet its minimum requirements.

Appreciate any helpful input!
