I've written a script to add uboot to power47 automatically, and backup the original. You should be able to copy/paste this into xterm.

This assumes you have power47 as a multiboot item.
Code:
sudo gainroot
cd /home/user
apt-get install -y wget flasher mkimage

#1. Download power kernel deb file from repository and extract fiasco image from it
wget http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/k/kernel-power/kernel-power_2.6.28-10power47_armel.deb -O kernel-power_2.6.28-10power47_armel.deb
dpkg --fsys-tarfile kernel-power_2.6.28-10power47_armel.deb | tar -xf - ./boot/zImage-2.6.28.10-power47.fiasco
mv ./boot/zImage-2.6.28.10-power47.fiasco /home/user/
rm -r boot
rm kernel-power_2.6.28-10power47_armel.deb

#2. Download Matan's u-boot from repository (it is named u-boot-for-power-kernel) and extract file image from it
wget http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/u/u-boot-for-power-kernel/u-boot-for-power-kernel_1.0_all.deb -O u-boot-for-power-kernel_1.0_all.deb
dpkg --fsys-tarfile u-boot-for-power-kernel_1.0_all.deb | tar -xf - ./usr/lib/u-boot/u-boot.bin.0x38000/u-boot.bin.0x38000
mv ./usr/lib/u-boot/u-boot.bin.0x38000/u-boot.bin.0x38000 /home/user/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47
rm -r usr
rm u-boot-for-power-kernel_1.0_all.deb

#3. Unpack Fiasco image
flasher -u -F zImage-2.6.28.10-power47.fiasco
rm zImage-2.6.28.10-power47.fiasco

#4. Transform zImage in uImage (necessary because u-boot boots Kernel only in uImage file format)
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 80008000 -e 80008000 -n "Power Kernel v47" -d zImage uImage 

#5. Add power kernel uImage at end of previous file (starting write at offset 0x38000 aka 448 blocks)
dd if=uImage of=vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47 seek=448
#6. Remove zImage & uImage
rm zImage
rm uImage

#7. backup and replace Power47
mv /boot/zImage-2.6.28.10-power47 /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47-bak
mv /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47 /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47-bak
mv /home/user/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47 /boot/multiboot/vmlinuz-2.6.28.10-power47
Hi DarkGUNMAN,

So I currently have Multi-Boot with four options (Kernel 46, Kernel 47, Nitdroid N11, Nitdroid N12).

Do I still need to follow Fabry's guide or do I just paste your code into X-Term and run and pray.

What will happen to my 4 multi-boot menu items?

I understand Meego uses U-Boot!

At what stage do I follow your instructions - before or after installing Meego to my memory card?

Right, but what of my current menu items? - will I have end up with 5 menu items and when I press on #5 it will take me to U-Boot with an option to boot into Meego or what is it going to do?

Sorry for asking again.
I don't want to try it unless I have an idea. I want to avoid wiping out my nokia n900 as I have too much stuff on it.

And if you fail it would be helpful to post the exact output here how and when you fail... Exact commands please as we otherwise all can just guess if it's unclear ("umount doesn't work" or something vague like that)...
