With setenv bootargs ... you can pass (under u-boot) a command line to kernel and so to boot from partition you prefer

Yes there is no guide but someone has done it.

As told on another posts I have booted MeeGo from eMMC with a manual installation.

The same procedure can be used to install meego summer edition on a 2GB SD (meego really needs only 1.3GB of space so a 4GB SD isn't necessary)

It would probably be beneficial then to provide a link to your other posts with the details.

Unfortunately there are no details.

I have only told on other thread that it is possible and that I have done it, but I haven't written yet a step by step guide

Sounds like the time I ported Symbian to the N900....

Wow there is a Symbian's port for N900.

I am not interested on it but someone could be

I have no time to write a detailed guide now but if someone (with some skills no newbie) want to try here a quick and undetailed guide:
  1. Repartition your eMMC to make a partition for MeeGo. Minimun space required is 1.5GB but bigger partition is better
  2. Format the new partition with EXT4 and mount it
  3. Load (with offset 512) the MeeGo image within loop device and then mount it
  4. Copy all files from meego image to new ext4 partition
  5. Alter /etc/fstab file (on ext4 new partition) to reflect the correct boot partition
  6. Load (with Nokia's flasher) the meego's kernel specifying a new kernel command line.
    The command line must be: root=/dev/mmcblk1p5 rootwait rw console=ttyO2,115200n8 console=tty0 omapfb.vram=0:2M,1:2M,2:2M mtdoops.mtddev=2
    Of course mmcblk1p5 must be modified to point to your partition

If all steps have done correctly now you are booting MeeGo from your eMMC
You can use u-boot also but this is only a quick guide and u-boot requires more steps that I have no time to explain

A detailed guide can be found here: http://www.smartphonetab.net/forum/s...-MeeGo-su-eMMC

Unfortunately it isn't in English language, but google's translator can translate it to English (even if not perfectly but enough to be understood)
