U-Boot installing:
Add U-Boot to power kernel v47 using this guide:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=876169&postcount=1
I can supply a prebuild file if someone wants it (and have a public area where drop it)
Save the obtained kernel file in /boot/multiboot with name
vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47
(replacing existing file that you must have if you are already using multiboot with power kernel)
Reboot to Maemo with original kernel or to Nitdroid
Reboot to Maemo with power kernel.
This will reflash kernel and so will activate/install u-boot
You will have U-Boot only when you will be under power kernel.
Off Couse U-Boot can be added to Maemo's Original kernel and to Nitroid's Kernel too.
How to boot to MeeGo:
Download MeeGo's Disk Image (kernel file is not needed) and write it to MicroSD, off course if you don't have already a prepared MicroSD with MeeGo
If you are under Nitdroid's or under Maemo's original kernel, reboot your phone and choose Power kernel
Shutdown your phone under power kernel
Power On your N900 with keyboard opened
How to show Multiboot's Menu (i.e. to choose with which OS boot):
Shutdown or Reboot your phone
If you rebooted/shutdown under Nitdroid's or under Maemo's original kernel, power on your N900 with keyboard opened.
Otherwise (u-boot power kernel) keep the keyboard closed to prevent MeeGo autostart
If U-Boot appears wait until it writes
"loading kernel image ... OK"
and then immediately open the keyboard to activate/show multiboot's menu before booting sequence can start
