1. create "/etc/multiboot.d/boot.item" with the following content:

2. install the kernel, modules, flasher debs from first post in Thread (if you already did do it again!)
3. Reboot with opened keyboard and select option "Boot"
4. now feel free to to install the scripts and test (check with "uname -r" if your kernel is "2.6.28-hostmode1")

!!!After starting as normal you will need to flash again the hostmode kernel!

Btw:
MohammedAG confirmed that
sh: 0: unknown operand
is normal because of some bad scripting by Nokia

I do exactly as this post says;

I boot with kernel 2.6.28-omap1, create a new .item in /etc/multiboot.d (mine called 10-Maemo-2.6.28-hostmode1.item), install kernel, modules, flasher debs from somewhere in the middle of the topic (updated ones), shut down the device, start it with open keyboard, select the 2.6.28-hostmode1 entry I created, it says "Booting - please wait" and shows Modules: ext3, but nothing at Kernel and then it boots in omap1 again.

Any ideas? I've read though the topic, but haven't been able to solve it.
