Today I followed your guide at
"http://wiki.nitdroid.com/index.php?title=N900-instal"
and used newest files and can confirm that it works

I had the problem, that my 8GB Card had already a partition, had to create new partitiontable,added partitions, but then had the triangles with "!". I had to unmount the partitons and then I could "Partiton" -> "format" them with GParted.

I have:
100MB FAT32
1,9 GB ext3

I can't download something with the browser, it says "No SDCard" or something like that.

Wanted to try to install "Battlesea" from DOWNLOADURL

Is there a way to install apks from Terminal?

I copied the .apk to /sdcard/Android/ ... there was no "home" dir, maybe I can access the 100MB FAT32 partition from terminal? Haven't tried that yet.

But nice to see WLAN working and the rest

And I have the problem with the keys, too, because this stupid buttonlayout ... fix was posted already, will try to find this file

edit:
with "stupid buttonlayout" I meant that one from Nokia
