that is exactly what we need.
Once I get home tonight I'll partition a micro sd card and try to boot from it.

Fanoush helped us with the N8xx, once I've cloned the OS the rest should be straighforward, I just need to point the bootloader to the microsd card slot.

Also note that the N900 doesn't use JFFS2 but UBIFS, the rest of the instructions should be similar to the N8x0 instructions.
