Oh come on.... look and think! You copied a shortened link! At least go to the effort of typing out the full url before posting problems.

After using the installer.sh file, (just to test it out, and to try the new rootfs), I get this:
Choose bootup option:
2)MMC
9)Start a shell

I read up on this and it looks like people get this for poorly seated sd cards or bad .item files in bootmenu.d but I've checked them.

Does it look like the MMC is mounted? After you see the menu try removing the battery cover, then put it back and see if you see any output regarding the memory card.

Yep. I take it off and t saus cover is open, card is now inaccessible

I put it on and it says cover is closed, blah blah blah, it recognizes the size and it says on the last line
mmcblk0: p1 p2

I am puzzled, because I think that's what it's supposed to say.

I was thinking about doing it over from the start like I did with eclair and the second froyo build, but I think this might be useful in case this is a real problem with the script.

Weird... It works for some and it doesn't work for others.
Can you do
Code:
sfdisk -l
on your N900 in Maemo and give me the output?

Can you do as root:
Code:
mkdir /and
Code:
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
Code:
cd /and
Code:
ls -a
And see if you see alot directories.
