@pali
Many thanks for your work!

The problem with u-boot (the last time i tried it) was the vfat partition requirement.
My phone has only ext4 partitions.

@xes: all n900 uboot patches was upstreamed and this month we will see new version of uboot with n900 support. In that version is also ext4 support, so I updated uboot bootmenu to work with ext2/3/4 too. Just wait for new version :-)

Like always you are looking forward to the future!
..but i suppose that you will receive some complaint because this update could hang many devices..

multiboot support was removed in october 2012 and there were testing packages for more months...

Probably, a brief tutorial about how to move from multiboot to uboot would be useful, I guess that most people using Nitdroid have multiboot.

Exactly... Nitdroid install is the reason I have multiboot on my device. Not that I use it often, but its nice to have.

All info is already available (not bundled, okay ;)).

May not be all that is needed (but should help for "beginners").

@peterleinchen, can you look what nitdroid installer script doing? And if it is possible to create script which generate uboot bootmenu item file for some default nitdroit installation?
