Maemo, NITDroid, MeeGo and Kubuntu * Multiboot on N900
 

How to install 4 OS (Maemo, NITDroid, MeeGo and Kubuntu)? How correctly configure Multiboot? How to partition SD Card?
P.S. Currently on my N900 Maemo and NITDroid.
P.P.S. Excuse me for the bad English.

Just follow all guide that are available, buy a big fat memory card and just change the partition number for each OS (and find a right kernel).

ie: Maemo is standard.
Nitdroid is P2 (SD)
Ubuntu is P3 (SD)
Meego is P4 (SD)

I have had 4 OS's on mine using this method. It's absolutely simple. Just follow all pre made guide, change the partition number (same in Multiboot .item!).

My SD Card partitions
mmcblk1p1 Primary W95 FAT32 (LBA) 3099,92
mmcblk1p4 Primary Linux swap / Solaris 768,02
mmcblk1p3 Primary Linux ext3 2048,00
mmcblk1p2 Primary Linux ext3 [NITDroid] 2048,00
I downloaded image - meego-handset-armv7l-n900-final-demo-1.1.0.0.20101109.1-mmcblk0p.raw and kernel - meego-handset-armv7l-n900-final-demo-1.1.0.0.20101109.1-vmlinuz-2.6. 35.3-26.1-n900
How to install MeeGo on mmcblk1p3 and get working Muliboot

yeah , somebody please answer to this thread.

I suppose we need to extract the raw image under mmcblk1p3

$ bzip2 -d meego-handset-armv7l-n900-*-mmcblk0p.raw.bz2

$sudo dd bs=4096 if=meego-handset-armv7l-n900-*-mmcblk0p.raw of=/dev/sdc

and then copy the image "meego-handset-armv7l-n900-*-vmlinuz-*-n900" under /boot/multiboot

and then create a new meego item under /etc/multiboot.d/


Will this work?? I want any one of you to confirm this procedure before i can proceed.
