I never tested meego but I've read the way to boot is using flasher -l instead of flasher -r. This method load the kernel and boot it but when you reboot it doesn't stay.
I think you can talk to Jay-C for add this in multiboot.
Then you can boot meego, android and maemo without using a pc.

hello guys,
according to stskeeps you cannot use meego with multiboot.
nevertheless, to use meego and nitdroid in parallel (the first
one requires flashing via usb) you can do the following:
1) as meego uses dd and changes the dimensions of your
sd you should extract the meego rootfs via kpartx as mentioned
above
2) you can tell the nitdroid installer script to install to the
n-partition of your sd card (thanks to the nitdroid theme)
so far i have 4 partitions:
1. meego rootfs
2. meego swap
3. nitdroid rootfs
4. placeholder for ubuntu
using multiboot i can boot to maemo, nitdroid and 4. using
the flasher with -l option boots into 1.
Blues
p.s. it would be great to consider the backupmenu within
multiboot but this doesnt seem to work.

below you find my personal notes installing meego on an
sdhc card which also contains a nitdroid installation, several
details are missing.
remark: this works for me but it may damage your card, n900,
life or whatever. use it on your own risk.
1. partitions: i use 4 partitions on an 8 gb sdhc card.
the dimensions are as follows
the 1st partition contains the meego rootfs and should be at least 2 gb.
the 2nd one is a meego swap partition and should be at least 256 mb.
the 3rd partition contains the nitdroid rootfs and should be smaller than 1.9 gb afair.
the 4th one is for data and can be ignored.
2. meego installation:
2a) i downloaded
and
from nokias webpage
using my imei which is as follows ... (just a joke).
2b) i unzipped the bz2 file:
2c) i use kpartx to extract the meego rootfs on my linux pc:
this gives me additional loop devices, the first one i mount as follows:
2d) now i can extract the meego-rootfs.tar on the 1st partition
of my sdhc card as usual.
2e) i put the sdhc card in my n900, turn off the device and flash
the downloaded kernel via
this will boot into meego.
3) installing nitdroid:
the important part for installing it on the 3rd partition is to edit
and replace
with

Still two years later I switched to Linux and left this job.
