Also, the cloning process paused at 99% and before quitting complained something about /tmp/rval (missing?).

Trying to set new default boot device as SD afterwards using pb is also unsuccessful as the menu only displays one option (/dev/mtdblock4; jffs). Eventually it'd be nice to be able to set the default boot device as well, to save the occasional boot time fiddling with menus.

Anyways, it's a festive season here and now and booting from SD works! Thanks Penguin!
It stays at 99% for a long time when cloning from flash because of the compression ratio of jffs2. If you clone sd to sd you it is more accurate. I will look into the rval error, I am confused why you are not seeing your disk in bootlist. Were you booted to flash or sd when you tried to set your bootmenu default. If you were booted to SD try to boot to flash and set it, let me know if you can see it in the list??

Thanks and Merry Christmas
