Will my phone be affected if I flashed it with the MeeGo Kernel

Out of curiosity, a year later, is a triple boot possible now? Maemo/MeeGo/Android (And maybe Windows 
) that would be an OP device lol. But from my understanding, MeeGo can only be flashed on top of Maemo, but is there a package similar to the way we install Android in existence?

1. Make a partition on SD card or EMMC
2. Extract MeeGo image there.
3. Don't flash kernel, just copy the file to /boot/multiboot with correct name and place modules in correctly named subdirectory under /lib/modules
4. Create /etc/multiboot.d/02-MeeGo.item file with correct contents... I will have some spare time tommorow in the evening and I will try doing that (maybe someone did that previously and it is somewhere here, did you do some research?
)

MeeGo doesn't use the modules folder.
It normally uses a kernel image with uBoot that looks for a fat32 fs on mmcblk1p3(/boot) with the actual kernel image, then switches over to use the MMC as mmcblk0 and boots the system like a regular Linux system (you know, without this whole UBIFS and /opt FUBAR-of-a-system.)
MeeGo N900 DE team, feel free to correct me.

is it possible to do like this ....
meego on memory card (flash the kernel)
*****(no u boot)****
then install nitdroid on emmc with multiboot
even if multiboot doesnt work will it boot into meego if memcard is present and will it go to the multiboot selection of nitdroid and maemo if memory card is not present ???

This is ridiculous. This has been said many times before. NO!!
It's either Maemo and Android OR Maemo and Meego!
For people new to this. Stick with Maemo and Android! It's good.
@ Nokia7Linux: YES! You will be BADLY AFFECTED!
You will LOSE MULTIBOOT and have to reflash your phone.
Why?
Meego kernel over writes part of Multiboot and causes errors. Don't do it.
@ SUN!L: What? Bootmenu does not flash any kernel. Just changed what OS is booted (NAND or SD). Did you install Multiboot?
Also, put the phone on charge and make sure it's not flat.
