Hi,
Yeah, the underlined part seems to be the problem...
I am not familiar enough w/ Jake's script to tell you what went wrong with it, but I can tell you the way I got Android working:
Installed Gparted and partitioned my 2gb sd card as 1gb fat, 8mb unformatted, 1gb ext3.
Gained root in the terminal and moved rootfs tar to my ext3 partition. Untarred it, then flashed the Android kernel w/ flasher-3.0.
Instructions on the needed commands are on the NITdroid homepage.
And viola! It worked.

It will create partitons-- 3 of them.Code:y

Sorry I've been gone, I'm getting ready for midterms.
Yeah, you need to create 3 partions still. Also, yes. this was one hell of a way to learn Linux commands.
I want to thank lcuk for the sfdisk command that allowed me to run it and simultaneously run a umoumt after 10 seconds. Friggin' Ubuntu automounting.

Once I did that, my PC rescanned the Nokia and detected the new partitions, after which I was able to format. Also, the card came in as /dev/sda not /dev/sdc as it appears Ubuntu would have seen it.

I just did this on my N800, and was unable to get the onscreen keyboard to work. After chatting with Vid and solca on IRC, we figured it out:
Assuming you can boot into Android, and that adb works, you need to download v0.3.2 of the rootfs here: http://guug.org/nit/nitdroid/rootfs-...-0.3.2.tar.bz2. Untar this into a new directory.
Then, with the tablet connected, run:
[quote]sudo ./adb push rootfsnitdroid /nitdroid[\quote]
where 'rootfsnitdroid' is the subdir where you untar'd it. You should get a few error messages on the tablet while it's running, just ignore them. When the terminal stops working, disconnect and reboot, and wa-la!

For those of us who are willing to wipe new hardware, couldn't there be a single flashing image that could set everything up? (I'm sure I'm missing something, but when I flash OS2008 it modifies the file system too.) I know there's a lot of talk about back and forth, but seeing that the N810 is going for like $210 new, should there be a way to just "slap" NITdroid onto a device without having to worry about "dual-booting?"
