It is NOT much fun because Maemo is based on Debian and Fedora initscripts are VERY different.
To get you started, get my bootmenu.d patches from http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=23051 , this will make the booting much much easier to accomplish.

And make a linuxrc in / of your fedora system like this:
http://trac.tspre.org/projects/deble...basics/linuxrc

And have a initscript early in the process that does mount --move /tmp /boot (make sure boot exists)

And make a initscript early in the process as well that uses this script to gain console viewing:

http://trac.tspre.org/projects/deble...ges/console-fb

You will need a module pack from http://trac.tspre.org/svn/deblet/dep...1-omap1.tar.gz , which should be in /lib/modules/2.6.21-omap1/ i think, and then depmod -a (not sure about paths)

that should gain you a console + sane booting OS
