doable dual boot?
 

I am trying to set up an n800 to dual boot diablo off a 2GB internal MMC card partitioned into 2 1GB Linux partitions. Actually that's triple boot counting the flash. I have run into a couple snags. Is there any way to get step by step easy to follow instructions for this somewhere, or someone willing to walk me through setting it up? I am somewhat new to Linux but been using computers a LONG time...


(First of all is this a doable thing? Guess I should ask that first).

The absolute easiest dual boot setup and instructions are from PB himself. General link is good to but I prefer PB.

So am I correct in that I have to have 3 partitions present on the 2 gig card to be able to boot 2 linux type partitions? One has to be a FAT partition (I assume can be very small)?

What would / where would I find an example of the internal.txt file pb mentions? Would having his multiboot program already present interfere with running his setup (I see it requires his installtools, I thought the two were exclusive). And, how do I create such a text file and then get it into the directory where it has to be (sounds like a simple question, I know, but seems like copying from the external mmc using the windows file manager is not allowed)?

Okay TXFi's instructions (last post on the linked page) worked great for me setting up one dual boot partition. I was wondering if I need to make the following changes to repeat the clone for ext3:

change the second insmod command from ext2.ko to ext3.ko at the end
change the first mount command to mmcblk0p3

Will that set up the triple boot as I have described it?
