Here is my bootmenu.conf file, to boot from mmcblk1p2, which is ext2. mmcblk1p1 is fat16, at 480MB.

# bootmenu customisation file
#
# included from bootmenu.sh after default menu is defined
# you can change some items or redefine menu completely

# timeout for automatic selection when no key is pressed
# set to -1 for no timeout (not recommended, can drain battery when device reboots unatteded)
MENU_TIMEOUT=30

# menu items
MENU_MIN=1 # first item index

#no need to redefine
#MENU_1_NAME="Internal flash"
#MENU_1_ID="flash"

MENU_2_NAME="External MMC card, partition 2 (stable), ext2"
MENU_2_ID="mmc1"
MENU_2_DEVICE="mmcblk1p1"
MENU_2_MODULES="mbcache ext2"
MENU_2_FSTYPE="ext2"
MENU_2_FSOPTIONS="defaults,noatime"

MENU_3_NAME="Power off (when not on charger)"
MENU_3_ID="off"

#last item index, change if you add/remove items
MENU_MAX=3
I know that the menuID references mmcblk1p1, but this was after p2 failed to boot, I was hoping it would skip p1 and find the first bootable partition on the sd card, as per the README.txt.
For now I think I'll be giving up. I don't have mmcblk1 set up that way anymore, but I will post more on my next attempt. Thanks Fanoush!
