ROM = Read-Only Memory... Can't use it as a swap!

there should be some way to install the OS on the internal and maybe use multiboot to boot from there and forget about the ROM

First, it's not ROM, it's OneNAND. And it's definitely not read-only, as those experiencing low free space on / can attest to.
What you need to do is boot into RescueOS, mount maemo root filesystem, copy / into a partition, unmount the rootfs, mount the home filesystem, copy that into /home on your scratch partition, create a symlink from /home/opt to /opt, remove the pymaemo-optify lines from rcS-late, remove the home-mounting lines from rcS-late, and use one of many ways to boot that root file system, such as Bootmenu (old), a rebuilt kernel with u-boot (new) and pray that it boots.

many folks don't appreciate those who don't try hard enough to search, or couldn't figure out how to find things properly.
a google on "n900 root on emmc" would've returned below link.
"[Announce] Maemo5 running 32GB eMMC root FS (scripts)"
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=59374
it may not work for you as is, but has all the details.
i've been tinkering with stuff based on that info & may release my findings for PR1.3 later.

the procedure should be the same. If anything, install pr1.2 then just apt-get upgrade to pr1.3 later
and maybe use the rom as swap only ?
runnin the OS from the internal is probably faster and takes less CPU and thefor battery usage , because reading/writing to the rom goes through compression algorithms which consumes CPU cycles and battery right ?
and probably installing thumb would be much better even ?
