This will scan and look for ext2 and ext3 partitions on any inserted SD card and create a custom bootmenu.conf and install bootmenu.
Thanks!

Sorry to double-post, but I just found this thread and realized that my question best belongs here:
-------
@penguinbait;
I installed Diablo today, spent a few hours getting all my apps and customizations installed (Gnumeric was the only one that I could not get working). Then it was time to put the bootmenu back, so I could boot between diablo on flash and chinook on SD.
I went to your site and downloaded bootmenu-installer 1.0.0-2. But, it fails to run, here is some of the log:
It looks like this is the chinook version. I looked again on your site, but can't find the diablo version.
Thanks,
Steve

penguinbait, you should fix where you say where the sound file is. It is in /root/.linus
And for people who care, the line responsible for playing the sound is line 21 of /etc/init.d/local.sh
Thanks for this penguinbait!

Then once its saved, open application manager and install from file.
NOTE, this only installs bootmenu, it does not clone anything, It will search for available partitions and write out a new bootmenu.
