- Well, the line number changes. Other times, I got 1473 and 1480.
- Once a new partition is created, pb asks to format it. After the format, however, the partition is not recognized, and I had to run Scan menu separately to make the partition usable in the tool.

Strangely, boot menu timeout doesn't work. Isn't it the time the boot menu waits user input for the selection of the partition to boot until it "automatically" boots from the default boot partition if there is no user input? I have waited just so long like several minutes and nothing happens...
- I had to use initfs_flash separately to make the timeout work.

Bye the way, when making a tarball backup, why can't a partition other than ext2/3 be chosen to store the tarball? It looks when restoring, it is possible to read from a tarball in a vfat partition.
- I read previous posts and find out write to vfat is not supported yet.

One question I have is, is it Ok to put the swap partition on the same card to boot from? I have N810, and since I wanted to leave the internal mmc as it is, I put both the boot partition and the swap partition on the external card. I think this will have a bit of performance loss, but other than that, is it free from any potential problems?

By the way, thank you very much for such an excellent tool! I'm not a Linux expert at all, but this tool made a complex technical task a breeze.

Bricked, starts to boot, then crashes.

I'd also be curious to know what program was playing the wave file after console-tools was removed. It doesn't appear to replace the Nokia startup sound, so one has to wonder.
