Thanks for this post, very interesting.
I'll ask you a question. Is possible to install Meego to an already used-by NITDroid 8 GB Class 6 MicroSD without formatting it?
I'm not confortable with the idea of wiping NITDroid of that microSD and install it to EMMC because it works very well on my microSD. Just wanted to know if I could dual-boot it.
Thanks!

Trying to follow instructions in first post....doing this in Terminal in OSX on my MacBook.....have some questions please....
Doing the command 'sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt' is where I start to have questions and issues.....
On my setup, my sd card is shown as 'disk1s1'. So, for the 'bzcat' command I used at the end '/dev/disk1'.
So, I assumed that for the line 'sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt' I would do 'sudo mount /dev/disk1s2 /mnt'. However, when I tried that I got the following in Terminal:
What is the correct reference to the card in my situation for the command 'sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt' ?
Here's what mount showed before I unmounted the sd card:
Thanks for any help!
Code:
1. Install MeeGo.
Download the Meego Summer Release from here. Follow the instructions on the wiki for installing to the MicroSD card, using your 4GB card. For me the procedure was (under Linux):
Code:
sudo apt-get install pv
sudo umount /dev/sdb1
cd Downloads
bzcat meego-handset-armv7l-n900-1.1-mmcblk0p.raw.bz2 | pv | sudo dd bs=4096 of=/dev/sdb
mkdir meego-modules
sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt
cp -r /mnt meego-modules #these modules are used later for Kubuntu
sudo umount /mnt
On my setup, my sd card is shown as 'disk1s1'. So, for the 'bzcat' command I used at the end '/dev/disk1'.
So, I assumed that for the line 'sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt' I would do 'sudo mount /dev/disk1s2 /mnt'. However, when I tried that I got the following in Terminal:
Code:
Users-MacBook:Downloads marks$ sudo mount /dev/disk1s2 /mnt Password: mount: realpath /mnt: No such file or directory Users-MacBook:Downloads marks$ mkdir /mnt mkdir: /mnt: Permission denied Users-MacBook:Downloads marks$ sudo mkdir /mnt Users-MacBook:Downloads marks$ sudo mount /dev/disk1s2 /mnt /dev/disk1s2 on /mnt: Incorrect super block.

tht would be the most awesome thing on the n900 ever!
@ArchiMark I believe that it is a ext3 partition, which OS X cannot read by default. Do you have MacFUSE installed? You will need that or something similar to mount an ext3 partition.

Do you think it's OK to use the 32GB Class 10 microSD card I bought last week or should I exchange it for a card that is less than Class 10??? (want to avoid any issues with Class 10 cards I've read about on forums here...)
thanks,
Mark
