Not sure why you want OS2006 instead of OS2008 but start here:

well since you posted in the 770 forum I would not go for n800 software.

I suggest OS 2007 HE , the latest verison has the mozilla browser

check out this for mmc boot

Is there an easy way to just reflash/update the mmc OS ?
Or do you have to reflash the internal os and clone this to the mmc ?

and if you reflashed the the internal os, would you lose the modified initfs with boot menu ?

Re: how2 flash mmc image
 

maybe this does help you:

First you need to unpack the FIASCO-Image (see http://maemo.org/community/wiki/flas...9fe78ecb84a5ba)

After that look here:

http://test.maemo.org/maemowiki/ModifyingRootImage

I followed this instructions to create a tar-archiv from the rootfs.jffs2-file.
Then I uncompressed the tar-archive to the boot-partition an my mmc.
This done, I can boot the fresh system from mmc.

I hope this helps

is there somewhere a HOW2 for this? i have some problems with my current mmc-os. So i want to update the mmc-os(maybe 2007HE) but i don´t really understand how to do this in the easiest way without updating and cloning my flash os...

I'm also having trouble getting a rootfs going on mmc. I've tried various methods without success.

I've installed fanoush's initfs and also sdhc kernel.

Easily cloning os2006 using tar from mtdblock4 to ext2-formatted mmc2, fanoush's bootmenu immediately gives a message like
Ideally I'd like to be able to construct a bootable mmc from a FIAsCO image on a linux host without cloning on the IT. I tried this using the process at the top of http://maemo.org/community/wiki/HowT...RootFSFromMMC/ and bits from here but using the latest 2006 image instead of dev image and using ext2 instead of ext3. With this method the loader gives a white screen for ~30s and then silently boots from flash.

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong in each of these attempts?

Re: how2 flash mmc image
 

In those early moments of booting up, are you sure you're selecting the correct MMC from the Boot Manager? Does it say for both MMC N/A? (Please don't ask why I think to ask this question. :o )

This won't have you booting from a FIAsCO image, but if you are up for trying to clone on the NIT again, give a look at my detailed, quicker, easier, and complete method (that I spent forever working on!) -- see my signature.
