So, I managed to get the N900 working, after emmc has been broken..
1, turn on rd-mode on device (to be able to run sudo gainroot)
flasher --enable-rd-mode
2, flash vanilla image
flasher -F ..COMBINED...bin -f -R
3, device boots up, insert SD card formatted with n900 compatible layout:
p1: vfat
p2: ext3
p3: swap
4, edit /lib/udev/mmc_id shell script, swap the SLOT_NUM="1"/"0" lines.
this will mostly trick the device to behave as if the sd-card was the internal mmc
5, reboot, device will auto-optify (take a few minutes)
the sdcard p1 will be mounted as /media/mmc1 (I'm not sure how it knows it, when it's present on mmcblk_0_p1
so I'm not sure which init script is still detecting this..
nothing is mounted on /home/user/MyDocs..
but camera will save images to "Memory card" and instant messages/skype calls work!
--------
problems:
USB storage will probably not work, I'm not willing to try it now

will upgrade to CSSU, hope it doesn't break anything
