Re-install boot menu after 5.2008.43-7 upgrade:
1) Gainroot
AP manager>Browse installable app>All>rootsh
2)
http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/
, scroll down to "Modified initfs with onscreen...." and dl
http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/initfs_flasher.tgz
and
http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/kernel_flasher.tgz
to default folder /home/user/Mydocs/.documents
3) sudo gainroot
cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/
tar zxvf initfs_flasher.tgz
cd initfs_flasher
You can customize bootmenu.conf.n8x0 to your likeness
mv bootmenu.conf.n8x0.example bootmenu.conf (or make your own one)
4) Close all applications, and disconnect from internet. Then type:
./initfs_flash
This will ask you several questions, here is what I recommend (type what's in bold):
backup?
no
remove extra stuff?
yes
found, do you want to add it to initfs?
yes
ready for flashing this image?
yes
Press enter to reboot device
Reboot
sudo gainroot
chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:mmc2 #pick your own choice
from PB:
mmc2 is partition 2 on internal
mmc3 is partition 3 on internal
mmc12 is partition 2 on external
mmc13 is partition 3 on external
You can also set the default to flash
chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:flash
Done.
What? Have not done your upgrade yet? Here is a step by step guide to 5.2008.43-7,

================================================== ===============
Directly copy from here,

, thread #347
===============================================
Bootmenu installation,
http://examplified.net/guide/Nokia_7...ting_from_MMC/
, perform steps 6,7,8,9 and then 13:
When the tablet restarts, connect to the internet and download,
http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/initfs_flasher.tgz
, to the documents folder.
If you have just did the Diablo upgrade (30-2), use this one,
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...tfs#post212301
, thread #24
Type
sudo gainroot
cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/
tar zxvf initfs_flasher.tgz
cd initfs_flasher
mv bootmenu.conf.n8x0.example bootmenu.conf (or make your own one)
If you just did the diablo upgrade, and initfs_flasher is '...jffs2 not find...' then
xterm
sudo gainroot
ln -s initfs.2008-24.tgz initfs.2008-29.tgz
ln -s dropbear.osso-RX-34.2007-10.tgz dropbear.2008-29.tgz
ln -s utelnetd.osso-RX-34.2007-10.tgz utelnetd.2008-29.tgz
I just did the 1st line and ran fine.
Close all applications, and disconnect from internet. Then type:
./initfs_flash
This will ask you several questions, here is what I recommend (type what's in bold):
backup?
no
remove extra stuff?
yes
found, do you want to add it to initfs?
yes
ready for flashing this image?
yes
Press enter to reboot device
Press enter. Boot from internal flash as we haven't cloned the system yet on to the MMC.
Reboot
sudo gainroot
chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:mmc2 #pick your own choice
from PB:
mmc2 is partition 2 on internal
mmc3 is partition 3 on internal
mmc12 is partition 2 on external
mmc13 is partition 3 on external
You can also set the default to flash
chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:flash
