As i wanted to upgrade to PR1.3 and just to be on the safe side i installed backupmenu as a multiboot item and made a complete system backup.
After, to upgrade to PR1.3, i just booted to PR1.2 and made an OTA upgrade with no problems. Multiboot nitroid backupmenu and all my other apps were still there and working. At last i replaced the old power40 boot image and modules with version 45.

I think you can install multiboot / nitdroid with power45 installed but then if you reboot with B key you will not return to stock kernel but to power45.

Take a look at the following links that have all the info you may need:

Multiboot/Nitdroid-Autoinstaller

nitdroid forum

Install backupmenu as a multiboot item

My gratitude and credits to multiboot / nitroid developer team, Titan, RobbieThe1st, Rob1n and maemo community.
thanks for the info and the links, but my big concern is how the multiboot that is set up by the nitdroid autoinstaller interacts with the uboot that power45 installed. has anyone tried installing in this order (first uboot (independently or via power kernel), then multiboot via nitdroid)?
