I'd like to put a live CD on the mass storage and then be able to boot a PC using the N900 or N9 in mass storage mode. Or i'd like to just have grub on the there somehow to chain load stuff from my SD card (my laptop won't boot off SD).

Has anybody done this?

How does the exposure of the MyDocs partition work to the host OS?

An fdisk -l shows just a raw disk (/dev/sdc in my case) and no partition table.

How does Windows see the FAT device?

It works fine, just use one of many liveUSB installers (yumi for example).

Very cool then. I will try. Does YUMI allow for chainloading to other devices besides live cd isos?

It seems rather interesting that the partition is presented as a whole disk to Windows. Where does the MBR go inside the actual device in the Linux side of the N900/N9?
