But why to remove installed stock ROM on stock slot when you can use safe slot to install Sailfish OS without any affecting the performance (in opposite to virtual slots 1-4)?
On my Droid 4 I currently have stock ROM (in case of problems), CM11 (in the safe slot - as the main used OS at the moment) and Sailfish OS on virtual slot 1 (for testing it out).

EDIT:
As I can see currently the fixboot.sh file inside ramdisk.img in the base CM11 build does not allow to install Sailfish OS in the safe slot. It recognizes only stock and virtual slots 1-4.
@TheKit Is it possible to include such a possibility in the next build?
It may be done as described here: http://www.internauta37.altervista.o...install-webtop
In case of problems I have encountered when following that - the block size must be equal before and after modification. Otherwise the OS won't boot.
