Well - I'd like to be able to also boot from an micro SD card, as this would mean I can restore my N900 without a PC.

Once I get home tonight I'll partition a micro sd card and try to boot from it.

Some of that still refers to the OLD n810 way of doing things (I vaguely remember doing it).

I'm going to follow the instructions here:

Fanoush helped us with the N8xx, once I've cloned the OS the rest should be straighforward, I just need to point the bootloader to the microsd card slot.

Note that the article mentions that should be done from a USB Recovery Environment, do not do that from the same operating system you're trying to backup!

Also note that the N900 doesn't use JFFS2 but UBIFS, the rest of the instructions should be similar to the N8x0 instructions.

The usb recovery mode seems to be a "part of maemo" ... so we shouldn't need another operating system ..
Besides i'm quite sure that the N900 uses JFFS2 ... :confused:

No, as you can read on the USB Recovery Mode link right on that page...

No; all Internet Tablets use JFFS2, but the N900 uses UBIFS as the kernel log will tell you.

The kernel log can say whatever he wants :D :p
But, unpacking every Fiasco image, everyone can obtain another result.. :

And you're going to trust the utility that is used to flash all the Internet Tablets (not only N900) BEFORE what the actual on-your-hands N900 says and uses? :P
