But I have a problem that afflicts me T_T
I partition the SD using gparted, i format it with ext3 file system...
Then i use the tar command to put all the necessary on the sd, copy the content of the firmware directory, create a file called mer.item in /etc/bootmenu.d, install Bootmenu for n900 ...

Finally i insert the card in the phone, push the power button with the keyboard opened...

I select Sd partition...
Then appears Booting from mmck ecc ecc..
But nothing happens and the phone turn off ...

What's the problem ???
hmm, that's odd - what partition do you have mer on? - have you also copied the kernel modules from maemo to mer's /lib/modules directory?
