Now I can announce that I have a working multiboot toolkit that can be used to load any suitable OS to N9 device using a graphical touch selection menus.

The work is based on patched Nemo kernel which is used to boot up a minimal system which will be used to select the next-level OS and load it up. With this system, we are no longer limited to tripleboot but indeed can create even quadboot and up

The patching is needed to override the default command line that NOLO forces on the booting kernel.

Happy new year to all TMO'ers
There have been some semi-successful efforts in the past from Android users on getting a Kexec module running. Theoretically, if we can compile this module for the Harmattan kernel, we could possiby boot any kernel with any arbitrary command line arguments from the default Harmattan kernel at the preinit stage. That way, no flashing would be required. I'll try looking into it.
