With this package, you can create a ext4 filesystem image of Nemo/Sailfish, put it into an existing N9 partition (e.g. /home/user/MyDocs/ partition), and boot into it from ubiboot boot menu.

It allows to boot these OSes without fiddling with your N9 partitions. And it is much easier to manage the space dedicated to these OSes. It is even possible to have several versions of the same OS simultaneously (currently, using a separate boot icon. e.g. using Ubuntu boot icon to boot another version of Sailfish)!

You can get it from: https://hedayat.fedorapeople.org/n9/n9_easy_boot.tar.xz

Installation instructions are included. It should be farily straightforward.

Hope you find it useful!
Pretty neat thing, using loop filesystem mount can indeed be a good alternative for many people as the repartitioning phase is the one where most people fail the first time they start using ubiboot

Nice work!
