I think we're still waiting for either wifi or cellular to work in nitdroid before we see detailed instructions
right now there is no wifi and no cell, and no dual boot. so it isn't very useful and you would have to go through the process of un-installing nitdroid to get back to maemo.

ok as promised root fs and kernel are up and below is a howto install for n900 users only.
the kernel i have provided here is hard coded to boot direct from device b202 (aka the external microsd) it will not boot maemo in any way at this time
this kernel is patched with titans patchs and is overclock enabled if anyone feels adventourous enough to copy the required filess of their maemo partition to the microsd to try this let me know
requirements
- knowledge of how to flash your device
- my android rootfs: http://files2.nitdroid.com/nitdroid-....0.1-demo.tbz2
- my kernel image: http://files2.nitdroid.com/zimage-nitdroid-0.0.1
- 1 microsd card (i'd say min of 1gb, this how-to will show the layout for my 8gb)
- some idea how to edit files and run commands via a terminal
- linux based pc/vm
- (optional but recommended) some sort of ssh server installed in maemo5
how-to:
1. Grab the required files from above.
2. Login to your n900 as root (either xterminal or over ssh (ssh is easier) ) and run the command below:
keep a note of the value it returns as you need it further on in this howtoCode:sysinfo-tool -g /certs/npc/esn/bt_id
3. Mount your microsd via either n900s usb storage or direct via a card reader (probably faster to do latter) then find out the device node assigned to it on you linux system (dmesg will give you easily enough) then run the following (/dev/sdb is the node the microsd shows as on my system):
this should correctly partition your microsd for the next stageCode:fdisk /dev/sdb o n p 1 <press return> +2g t c n p 2 <press enter> <press enter> w q
4. Now create filesystems,
5. Once those have ran mount the ext3 partitionCode:mkdosfs /dev/sdb1 mke2fs -j /dev/sdb2 -m0
6. Now navigate to that folder and extract the rootfs (i hope you saved it somewhere you can remember )Code:mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt
7. Wait patiently for the extract to complete (it takes some time)Code:cd /mnt tar xjvvpf ../nitdroid-n900-0.0.1-demo.tbz2
8. Once the extraction has completed navigate to the system/bin folder and open the load_modules.sh file in your favourite editor (i use nano)
9. Scroll down the file and find the line that startsCode:cd /mnt/system/bin nano load_modules.sh
echo 0cddef0a0e6d and replace the 0cddef0a0e6d with the text you wrote down in step 2 - this is to enable the bluetooth module to work. Once that is done save and close the file then you can unmount the microsd
10. Insert the microsd into your n900 and then power down the device (disconnect charger etc before hand.)Code:umount /mnt
11. Boot your n900 into 'flash' mode (hold u on keyboard as you connect usb cable)
12. Run the following command to flash the kernel to your device
adjust the zimage part to give the path to where you saved the fileCode:flasher-3.5 --set-rd-flags=no-ext-wd,no-lifeguard-reset --enable-rd-mode -f -k zimage-nitdroid-0.0.1 -r
the device should reboot and begin to start android.
The back cover must be in place or the system will crash
