First: I confess; I'm an idiot.

With that out of the way, I'll ask a question that is probably obvious to most of you here.

Once I've flashed the Android kernel, maemo is inaccessible until I re-flash the maemo kernel, right? The only way around this would be a bootmenu, and that still needs to be done, right? But once I flash the kernel back to a maemo kernel, I should have access to all my maemo stuff again, right?

Right. I did the back flashing a few times already. It's just a matter of a second and the tablet runs maemo again, with all your stuff that you had on it before.

Has anyone been able to mount their external SD card? If so, how this is done would be greatly appreciated.

I just tried the latest version. It works on my N800. :D
Great stuff and thanks for porting Android.

You need to have the flasher application downloaded onto your linux system, then run that.

You have two options for flashing a kernel. From a Linux host, follow the instructions at http://wiki.maemo.org/Flasher There's a link to the flasher-3.0 tool embedded in the instructions, but it's http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/d3.php if you just want to get flashing ;)

If you want to flash from the tablet itself, you must be running diablo. Use the `fiasco-flasher' tool from a root shell, but be warned that I don't know a way to enable R&D mode using this tool. Without R&D mode your tablet will reboot every 5 minutes or so, and I think you'll want to find a Linux host to reflash the kernel about 5 min after Android boots the first time!
