According to maemo the system can be configured to boot automatically from the internal SD slot if an ext2/ext3 partition is present, and from device flash otherwise, making this a simple dual-boot strategy for developers. Whether you can unconditionally force the SD boot regardless of fs, I don't know yet.

The N800 isn't officially support yet.
Second, I don't seem to see the doc mention any thing about dual SD slot. If it's dual boot, which SD slot do they refer to?

1. Is N800 still use compressed FS?
2. Can you hack the N800 to have it boot from the SD card? As this not only speed thing up on the system if compressed FS is used, but also free up the precious for application(unless it's not neccessry.) Nonetheless, moving the ROOT to SD mean, you can install more application, 128MB VS 1GB.
