You are correct, G_OS_PARTITION tells bot the location of the kernel and also that the partition is to be mounted as root for that kernel.
Setting it to 5 and having no kernel there will of course give you an error since the system will kook for kernel and find none.
Setting it to 3 will find your kernel and boot it, but if your preinit script is not finding your Nitdroid installation the kernel will panic and just hang there doing nothing.

Why did you talk about Nemo preint, then??
