Nemo is on sdcard on N900. Uboot-pr13 (Carsten Munk's version) booted straight to Nemo. I wanted to see whether I could get it to maemo without pulling the sdcard, so I interrupted uboot, gave "run noloboot" command, and maemo came up.
Great, I thought. Now I can play with nemo whenever I want.
But the next time I tried to reboot, the uboot screen had disappeared. It just boots straight to maemo all the time. I've tried removing the battery, reseating the sdcard, restarting with the keyboard out, and not out. Nothing helps.
I suspect it's just booting to "last OS" but how do I tell it to give me a choice again? Or do I have to reinstall uboot??
The 20121108 version of Nemo looks great, by the way!

Normally I would expect it that way also.
Do you also have multiboot? This flashes kernel, and when flashed uboot is gone.
But my expereinces with early uboot are ver yold and greyed out in mind.
Why not use palis latest uboot version. This makes it wasy and surely works the way you expect (do have it also).

Yes, I have multiboot. I had that first, though, because I was playing with Nitdroid way back when. I installed uboot later and flashed the kernel then, so multiboot shouldn't be somehow spontaneously overwriting that, should it? 
But that's certainly what it looks like. I mean, I turn it on, and multiboot comes up. All it has is the one maemo entry, because I dumped nitdroid, but that's what I'm getting instead of uboot.
I'll try pali's version. I'm not real up on how that interacts with uboot-pr13. Do I need to uninstall uboot-pr13 first? I'll check around to see if I can glean the info somewhere. Update: Okay, ignore that. I found pali's thread and it's very clear about definitely uninstall....
another update: Looking into it, I remember why I didn't install pali's in the first place: the instructions are fairly confusing for a newbie. Uboot-pr13 was in the extras-devel or -testing repo. (Can't see it now! What's up with that?) The N900 is my only phone and I can't afford to screw it up. If there's a solution that stays with uboot-pr13, I'd be much less nervous!
I wonder if it's worth trying to just uninstall multiboot first?

Okay, I uninstalled and re-installed uboot-pr13. Then it boots from sdcard again. But when I want to switch to maemo, and give the command "run noloboot", then it just seems to switch itself off. If I remove the sdcard, it boots into maemo.
As far as I can tell, noloboot is pointing to multiboot which doesn't exist anymore because I uninstalled it.
Not sure how to fix that, but that's a separate issue.
So, anyway, all this excitement is just due to something weird with my setup and nothing to do with Nemo. Since it started after a bad shutdown of Nemo, I thought it might be some kind of bug others had run into. But it's not. So nothing to do with this thread. Sorry for the derail.

Once again,: not sure about uboot1.3, but it should behave (almost) same way as palis.
Yes, when you boot into multiboot (kb open), then it will check kernel version against selected (in your case: one and only) version and if they differ will flash the kernel. Then uboot is gone.
About your latest problem:.
run noloboot shuts down device? Maybe /sbin/preinit is still from multiboot?
How do you boot to Maemo at all now?
But as this goes totally OT here, please open a new thread or post to the multiboot/uboot thread (post or PM link).

UPDATE: After rebooting the N950 a second time, it again did not work. An "x" appeared next to the antenna icon at the top of the display. I rebooted again, and still no luck. So I managed to make one phone call after the first reboot, but after subsequent reboots it has not worked as a phone. When it was working as a phone, the antenna icon at the top was replaced by the text "310410" which is not a subset of the digits in my phone number. I suspect it was an unsuccessful attempt to display my carrier's name (AT&T in the US). But now I just get an antenna icon with an x next to it.
