Hi. I am trying to install Mer on my N800. It should go in my 2GB internal SD memory card.
I ran the installation program, an selected the simple install. It partitioned the card, formatted, and seems to have copied the system correctly. At the end the installer called the bootmenu installation program. I answered the 'yes'es and 'no'es, it printed messages as if copying whatever it has to copy to the memory, then asked me to press enter to boot or "ctrl-c to cancel (not avisable)". I pressed enter, then the N800 booted... To the Maemo install.
I already tried turning on and leaving the home key pressed, and leaving the menu key pressed, as suggested to me in the IRC channel, but that didn't work either.
Unsure about whether I had to have this bootmenu working already before installing Mer, I tried executing the menu update script, and wento through the process again. The proper Mer file wat there at the bootmenu.d, by the way, pointing to the correct partition. The messages came, it seems to work, but then again, I can only boot into the Maemo system.
What may be wrong here? How can I test if the bootmenu is properly installed or not? And how can I make sure it will present the menu to me, regardless of having to press a key at start-up?
