When you update the OS in flash. It will reboot and bootmenu will be gone. If you install bootmenu-installer
http://internettablettalk.com/forums...light=bootmenu

It will setup your bootmenu and you can then boot to the flash with the updated OS, or SD with the older OS.

Now if you boot to SD and install the update. You will lose your bootmenu again. So you need to install bootmenu again to get your menus back.

bootmenu-installer conflicts with install-tools so be sure to remove and instance of install-tools or previous bootmenu installs before installing or it will fail.

Always take a backup before doing any of this. Something could always go wrong.

Good luck
