You can do it the same as booting nitdroid...Read: https://github.com/romaxa/B2G/blob/master/README.n9

link to the b2g image

Still pretty laggy to use...

Tip: If you want to go back from an app hold your power button and choose to show cards (app drawer) or quit application...


Edit: If you follow the nitdroid instructions as in the link above what you need to do is as root on your n9:

Code:
tar zxvf /path/to/b2g_n9_droid_hal_fs.tar.gz -C /home/nitdroid/
Just install dual boot kernel and preinit then do the above...make sure you delete your nitdroid installation before doing the above...


Edit 2: Just installed one of the nightly versions on my SGS2 and it seems to have changed quite a bit (for better or worse )...However, its much much more laggy on my SGS2 compared to on my N9 most probably thanks to romaxa's optimization on the N9! Oh and the nightly version on the SGS2 doesn't have cut the rope Surprisingly an OS targeted on the low-end segment can't work anything close to well on a dual-core device
romaxa's build was 2 months ago and it seems to have gone backwards since then IMO from a no-frills but pretty OS to another me-too Android clone...


Edit 3: Seems I've missed out on the link to the b2g image
Hi it's really awesome to see your howto!!
I have a N9 and I think the ability to boot up b2g is really awesome.
Is there any update or instruction written if I want to compile the latest b2g on my N9 since b2g is getting its 1.0 release?

Romaxa's github repo for n9 hasn't been updating since 6 month ago.
Still thanks for your instruction!
