Yes 2 version would be good but Pali might have some reasons why he didn't put 2. But in case you want to here's a guide for it
http://al.robotfuzz.com/~al/maemo/u-boot/
Just follow this part since pali already provided the bin file.

Make the combined image:

Take the u-boot.bin, pad it to 0x40000 bytes. Turn the normal zImage into a uImage
then append to padded u-boot.bin. The total size of the resulting image must be less
than 2MB, which is easily possible using the PR1.2 kernel. Finally flash the new
combined image to N900 like a regular kernel.

You can use builder.py (below) to make the combined image.

Flash it:

sudo flasher-3.5 -k combined.bin -f -b
the python script used for adding the bin is attached the link I gave. Also Possible that you could do it directly from your n900.
