It should be something like this:
Code:
MENU_3_NAME="External MMC card, partition 1, ext2"
MENU_3_ID="mmc3"
MENU_3_DEVICE="${EXT_CARD}p1"
MENU_3_MODULES="mbcache ext2"
MENU_3_FSTYPE="ext2"
MENU_3_FSOPTIONS="noatime"
[ -d "/sys/block/${INT_CARD}/${MENU_3_DEVICE}" ] || MENU_3_NAME="(${MENU_3_NAME}
) N/A"

Nice things are happening here!
However I still believe that all work is moot if access to the hardware specification and source code for the system software is not granted for the general public.
See this bug for details: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1584
Post what you want to see opened up.

I formatted mmcblk0p4 as ext2, mounted it as /opt (using Millhouse's "nupdate.sh" script, I confess) then downloaded the Debian tarball, checked the md5sum, and untarred it to the root of the partition. It all went smoothly, I checked and rechecked, yes, I had formatted the right partition, yes, I had untarred everything...
I then rebooted and chose my new Debian install from my boot menu...
My N800 has been sitting at the "Booting from mmc4 (mmcblk0p4 ext2)..." screen for 20 minutes or more.
I'm going to kill it, I think; any ideas what might be wrong?

@qole: Yeah, 20 minutes is definitely too long. It should bring up usb networking early in the boot process. Is there any chance you could try hooking it up to a desktop and trying to login and get some more info (such as boot messages, etc)?
I plan to do a new release in the next week or so. I still haven't got sound working, but I do have a couple changes in mind. My goals for the next release go something like this:
-boot messages should actually display during bootup!
-Include support for rotation if you have a rotation enabled kernel.
-switch to xfce for the desktop for now.
Comments and suggestions are welcome!

Interesting... I got it to work by re-doing the initfs_flash script after installing Debian. It actually didn't take very long to boot this time. An interesting artifact; the screen was still blank and white, but I got a mouse pointer on the screen so I moved the pointer around. It revealed a NOKIA logo as it moved across the screen!
I am kind of amazed; I didn't expect to see the Hildon desktop. Is there any way that I can get dropped to a root terminal by default, or to a menu of window managers? I wanted to try XFCE4, but I have no idea how to exit the Hildon WM.
By the way, the hildon-style pop-up keyboard is very cool!

This is kind of cool.
This site has instructions and a linux.inf file that you can use to get Windows XP working with USB networking and the tablet. I have Cygwin and SSH set up, so this is great.
Still trying to get it to work, however
