[backup?] no
[Remove extra stuff?] yes
[Install telnet?] no
[install dropbear?] no [then there is a pause for some seconds]
I don't really agree with these, people should make a backup of their initfs incase they wish to remove the bootmenu. Telnet & Dropbear are extremely useful to install as they can provide access to your N8*0 if it doesn't want to boot. If you don't want to install them, then you don't need to remove extra stuff

Thanks for the input. I had originally had a comment in the guide about those choices, but I took it out as part of my editing to stay within the 10,000-character maximum post-length. I figured that the guide was written primarily for people who were relative newbies and that anybody who knew what to do with dropbear and telnet would ignore my suggestions. I think, though, that people who aren't newbies are getting worthwhile use out of the guide now, too. And you're saying even relative newbies may find they need those tools.
What I'll do is put a note in Post #2 with what you're saying, and maybe squeeze in a comment at the beginning of Post #1 suggesting people look at Post #2 before beginning the process.
Or do you think I should just change all four responses to "yes"?

Well, you should always be able to get back to your flash boot. (That's why it's called dual-booting!) After you've pressed the power button, as soon as you see anything happening on the screen, press and hold the menu key until it shows you the boot menu.

The key word here is "should"..... It will by default boot to the flash side and after the Nokia with the temperature bar at the bottom, it instead of the hand photo will be a blank white screen, or will reboot in a loop of the same thing over and over. I left it to see what it would do and then could not get it back to the selection screen.
I was able to interrupt by taking the battery out and waiting, and now am booted to mmc2. I also cannot enter RD mode with the USB cable. The usb symbol is lit up but it then goes into the loop, not allowing the flash mode enabled, or I would relflash/reinstall the ext.

Oh, that is a bummer. I suppose you have the Nokia Software Update Wizard launched and ready when you have the Tablet attached to the computer with the USB cable? I really don't know how to help, wish I did. There are threads if you google this forum for WSOD -- perhaps there is something there.
And just for my own peace of mind (or removal thereof), you were or weren't using my guide in Post #1 when you and your Tablet suffered this affliction?
I hope things get better soon!
The directions do not apply to the N770.
