I'll investigate the issues about the phone being off this evening and see if it happens to me. will let you know my outcome in the morning.
Multiboot does have a couple issues; when plugged into the charger it and you turn it on, maemo will fail to boot. It'll try to start but fail (not seen this with NITDroid but dont use it very often atm as I am still waiting for internet to arrive) It will also shut down after it first flashes the kernel when not plugged and needs to be manually rebooted before maemo will load.
I cannot recreate the phone coming on when it is turned issue though. Was it lying on it's back then you turn it onto its screen and it turns on?

this is what happened i was following the steps everything i installed multi-boot was reading next step screen timed out tried to turn it on would not work so i removed battery and put it back in loaded to the multiboot screen but listed no boot options i freaked out cause you remove meamos boot in the instructions before you get to this part i would have had i stroke if i did not have this rooted motorola cliq.
moving along i think it was a simple issue of not enough power so it did not list default boot mabye anyways moving along took battery out put in external chager for 30 minutes had same issue even tried to reflash would not work so i took the battery out again while it was hooked to usb cable and it started the charging flash after an hour tried again nothing so i pushed random buttons to find some kind of command terminal when i hit the back key it listed some things but no boot listed phone restarted and it had a boot to default meamo option i was so so happy so I'm okay now thank for your offers to help sorry about the run on sentence

You will not see a default Maemo boot option in multiboot but you can boot to it by pressing 0. If you look a few posts up I explained to someone how to get the default maemo to show in the boot menu.

Is this problem known, or is it something i can fix...
Now my phone is on Maemo, if i reboot it with the keyboard closed, it turns off, then a few seconds later, the NOKIA screen appears for about 5 seconds, then the phone turns off completely.
Then i hold the power button again to turn it on, with the keyboard closed, and it boots into maemo. It works now.
So now i try and reboot with the keyboard open, choosing option 1 to boot into Maemo. It reboots back to multiboot, and i have to select 1 again for it to boot into Maemo.
Pressing 2 in multiboot always boots into NITDroid first time, every time.
When i'm in NITDroid and want to go back to Maemo, i hold the power button till the power menu appears, and i choose "reboot" (with keyboard open).
It loads multiboot and i choose 1 for Maemo. It shows some white text on a black background, then shows the NOKIA screen, then turns off.
So i hold the power button with the keyboard open, and select 1 for Maemo again. This time it boots into Maemo correctely.
The obvious problem being, it never boots into maemo first time, it always takes 2 goes.
NITDroid never has this problem, if i choose 2 on mutliboot, it boots NITDroid first time, every time.
So, any fix?

@munkiii no fix at the moment. it's just the way it works for now. The bootmenu-n900 did the same thing. But the first release of multiboot didn't it booted straight forth and back between the os's via the multiboot options...
So for now everybody is having that issue with double booting into maemo
Small issue for such awesome thing as 2 OS's imo

So that was why NITDroid wouldn't boot!
Fixed! :P
Btw i've seen NITDroid all over and it seems to me that a lot of work is still there to be done right?
