Thanks for this.

I seem to be stuck in an infinite loop: the boot menu appears but it keeps refreshing every second (the screen flash briefly and shows the boot menu) and the timer doens't count down.

I can boot to Maemo by pressing 0 but I can't boot android, it says booting then just powers off. (I have the right partition number).

Try pressing 0

Also it might reboot 2-3 times before it works ok

You have to create .item files in /etc/multiboot.d to tell multiboot what to do.

Make sure that you move your kernels from /boot to /boot/multiboot then nitdroid should work.

Re: Multiboot 0.2.5 released
 
Could some kind soul please post an example of the multiboot.d file with options for maemo, NITDroid, etc...?? I'm sure this will help others as well...

I've read the README file as instructed, but still am a bit unclear as to what I should populate the various fields with to get the boot options to work right...

Thanks!

PHP Code:

ls /boot/:
multiboot 

PHP Code:

ls /boot/multiboot
System.map-2.6.28.NIT.02 
System
.map-2.6.28.NIT.03
vmlinuz
-2.6.28-omap1
vvmlinuz
-2.6.28.10power37 

This now allows me to select options 0 & 1 to boot to Maemo; but, I still can't boot to android.
I also still have the problem of the boot screen constantly refreshing every second.

You don't have the nitdroid kernel in /boot/multiboot.

you need to populate /etc/multiboot.d/,how should i do this

Re: Multiboot 0.2.5 released
 
you should have examples in /etc/multiboot.d/examples. just copy the examples nit.item files to /etc/multiboot.d and you should have the correct boot options for nitdroid (presuming you have the kernels in /boot/multiboot and have followed the nitdroid install instructions.)
