You may also try to edit /usr/sbin/mmc-mount, now it looks like this
Code:
#!/bin/sh
mount -t vfat -o rw,noauto,nodev,noexec,nosuid,utf8,uid=29999,shortname=mixed,dmask=000 "$1" "$2" > /dev/null
which is not good for ext3

Yes, cloning will be similar. What may be a bit different is the bootmenu code. Also the internal hardwired 2GB card in N810 is already preformatted and has some data so this may need some extra care.

BTW, if anyone has access to some beta 2008 firmware (N810 and/or N800) I would be interested in initfs image or at least full list of files (cd /mnt/initfs ; ls -lR) and output of cat /mnt/initfs/linuxrc (i.e. whole linuxrc file).
