Only thing still is the firmware. I'll probably just copy the firmware files tot hte nitdroid partition. Will test later tonight.
Finally got it all working I can now boot into Maemo, Meego or Nitdroid without needing to reflash or change cards. I've attached the patch to u-boot I'm using - it appends the initrd and command line (if set) to the atags instead of just ignoring them when atagaddr is set.

For Nitdroid, I'm using multiboot as normal, but fooling it into thinking it's already done the reflash, so it just loads Nitdroid straight away. If anyone's interested, I can also post my initramfs and u-boot scripts.
