Questions....

I have spent the last couple of hours trying to set up my N800 to boot from an external 1GB SD card following the instructions on this page: http://maemo.org/community/wiki/HowT..._From_MMC_card

When I attempt to boot from the mmc it boots from flash (without informing me that it is booting from flash)

When I attempt to boot from 2nd partition on mmc ext2 it gives me an error and reverts to the flash boot.

The instructions on post #1 of this thread show the command prompt of an N770. I have had some problems with the directions as they aren't detailed (i.e. using the GNU tar... is one suppose to overwrite the tar in /bin/? ). Also, the syntax for vi'ing vi /mnt/initfs/bootmenu.sh are kind of sketch, as it instructs:

Change the line
GETKEY="evkey -u -t 1000 /dev/input/event1"
to
GETKEY="evkey -u -t 1000 /dev/input/event2"

The actual line in my bootmenu.sh reads:

GETKEY="evkey -u -t 1000 /dev/input/${EVNAME}" ... aparently a variable for event.

So the question I have is, which one of these tutorials is the correct one for booting from an mmc? This thread or the the actual Maemo wiki? And what things need to be done differently for an n800 setup on an EXTERNAL mmc (besides the obvious mmcblk1p1, etc)?
