Yes.

There is a README in initfs_flasher folder and example bootmenu.conf.*.example files.

1) internal flash, 256 MB
2) internal card, 2G (mmcblk0)
3) external card, SD (mmcblk1)
With N810 beware of bug
http://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2747 and see workaround here http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...657#post124657

Sadly I still had no time to update flasher with similar workaround. I'd like to fix it in kernel and have the workaround working with both fixed and broken kernel.

you can re-run bootmenu installation many times (with reboots between), rootfs is not touched, when you screw up initfs and system does not boot, you can reflash just initfs part via linux flasher
