Did this last night with no problems at all (or none ive noticed!)

I have an N810 and had to use mmc1 for external card and think i had to use /dev/mmcblk1 (hope thats correct, but seems to be working!)

Ive read through a lot of the posts in this thread, and just wondered if anyone would be so kind as to confirm something for me:

1. Am i correct in thinking thatto eliminate problems accessing the external card via the usb cable on my computer that i must edit the file /usr/sbin/osso-mmc-umount.sh
from

Code:
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
  umount $MP 2> /dev/null
fi
  RC=$?
else
  # it is not mounted
  RC=0
fi
to:
Code:
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
  if [ "$MP" != "/" ] ; then umount $MP 2> /dev/null ; fi
  RC=$?
else
  # it is not mounted
  RC=0
fi

2. Can anyone confirm the best method to edit the boot menu, eg set it to boot from external card by default (and remove option to boot from internal 2gb memory on n810)

As a side note, is the boot from usb hard drive option used for anything?

3. Just for future info, if i wanted to re-flash the external card with the basic installation i have saved on the internal flash, which steps do i take to do that?
