Problem is... I'm not sure how to do this!

The initfs I understand. BUt I'm not sure about the kernel, and I'm not sure where the 2008 initfs is on the SD card that is loaded with 2008.

I can of course dual boot now, but the wireless doesn't work. TO get it to work I have to do this flash before reboot, but I don't know where to look for what I need.

Anyone got any hints?

Too much 'black magic'. I got halfway with one of the tutorials and some commands wouldn't run, and I chickened out.

When someone comes up with an idiot-proof, step-by-step guide that my mother could use to dual-boot my N800, I'll jump. In the meantime, I'm not going to complain about a couple of extra seconds of boot time, or not having enough space to install a million apps. The 'fat' apps menu is discouraging me from installing too many apps anyway.
