All went fine up to step 7.
When i entered step 7 in putty, the connection freezed.
ok, next step "open NEW terminal" so it should be normal.
But when i open a terminal for next step (flasher ...) i get an error "could not connect to 127.0.0.1" - using putty to connect same error as when using a terminal direct on the N900.

what did i miss?

Edit: Oh lol... i closed the frozen window... allright, found the error in front of keyboard^^

Edit 2: Hmm, already done. But 1 thing i dont understand totally.
In #8 there is:
mv /boot/zImage-2.6.28.10-power47 /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47-bak
mv /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47 /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47-bak

in both lines i move something to the same file (vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47-bak) in /boot/multiboot.
So i overwrite the backup of the 1st file with that of the 2nd? Am not really sure about the goal of that... is it a way of if-then? making sure that bak is a copy of the 2nd if it exists and a copy of 1st if second doesnt exist?
