Just flash the rootfs and it will retain all the data on the EMMC ("MyDocs").
You will have to reinstall all your apps again.

If you've been messing around so much with the N900 (yes, I mean installing all those crap-patches), I would strongly suggest you completely reflash the N900, not just the rootfs. Who knows what you have under /home or /opt, etc.

Otherwise, have a look in the relevant thread - I'm sure this has come up before...
