well, I got it all kinda work out. I got it successfully clone out the data, reboot, and in the UI from the mmcblk0p2(ext2), but it keep rebooting, while if I choose to boot from flash it is working fine. I even add one step into the instruction, which is to run sync after tar to ensure I don't try to reboot too early and kill whatever didn't finish writing to SD. I tried it twice, same problem. second time started w/ mkfs.ext2 step. Any pointer?

You do need to download it, apt-get will download the package then install it for you. I can't remember which repository it's in, but if apt-get can't find it add the following:
Name: Maemo Main
Web Address: http://repository.maemo.org
Distribution: bora
Components: free non-free
Then run "apt-get update" followed by "apt-get install e2fsprogs"

am I supposed to get more free memory available by booting from mmc? If yes, where can I verify that?
I have an 490mb ext2 and booting from mmc

I do not believe booting from mmc will provide you more useable memory. You can create swap partitions or swap files that will give you additional memory resources.
