Up above the two sudo commands I needed to unmount N900 from my Fedora 12. I inserted microSD in it and followed your steps. Otherwise I was seeing part sdc1 was already mounted error. Unplugging and plugging back the cable solve the issue.

By the way you start with fdisk /dev/sdb with microSD inserted on N900 I was almost using my N900 memory dmesg list sdc as being the microSD. Care must be taken during this operation

Code:
flasher-3.5 --enable-rd-mode --set-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset,no-ext-wd -f -k *type loaction if zImage kernel downloaded here* -R <press return>
The following must signify a successful flash operation.

Code:
[root@ccn maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2]# ./flasher-3.5 --enable-rd-mode --set-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset,no-ext-wd -f -k ../zImage-0.0.3 -Rflasher v2.5.2 (Oct 21 2009)

Indeed I was able to boot in Android. For some reason I couldn't get WiFi working, plus the second boot was kind of unsuccessful. Neither the very recent third boot. They didn't bring any app to the desktop. And the OS doesn't respond any of the taps. Peff it was working at the first one.
