This may work (have not tried)

I'm pretty sure it work, w/ certain condition.
1. you have to boot off the flash, can't boot off the mmc w/ that.
2. the card cannot be inuse, that mean, no swap partition or swap file on the card either. Then, the system will work.
How would I know, well at least it will work on n800, cuz I don't have an SDHC card reader. But I manage to get the setup on my 8GB SDHC card.
On windows, you might only see the fat partition, but on linux, you see the whole thing. w/ 1 problem though, after any change to the partition, you have to reboot your nokia IT unit, otherwise the system won't see the change.
