I spent a lot of times searching. I've explored on it for over 2 weeks, with about an average of 2 hours each night. Those are the websites I found, as far as booting and stuff like that. But just so many confusions that I can't seem to find all the answers together and understand better how the system works. It took me awhile to learn about the repository and such. I have to admit, I am very slow trying to adapt this specific new system. I basically almost gave up until I emailed bunanson for help. I never expected bunanson to respond back. But he really did and was extremely generous to this newb(me). I was actually planning to ebay this n800 because of my lack of intelligence of operating this n800 to boot on a 16gb SDHC. Well he sure did bring me hopes back. I appreciate it and I also appreciate you for telling me that I should search. Regardless helpful or not, you all put time into responding to this problem that I am facing, I thank each and every one of you.

And take the SD card out and put in the tablet, and now, you do not have to redo the wget/dl/chmod +x all these BS, just run the ./nupgrade.sh 0-4 or the automatic one, the newer script, you are home!
Is there a procedure there? Sorry I clicked on it and it only shows something about installing maemo SDK. By the way, is there anything else I should say no to besides the step where you install fanoush? Before finding about the panasonic, I have tried to format it using windows by right clicking on the icon of the drive and format. I had also tried to format it by inserting it into the cannon S5 to low-level format it as well because it has that option. Could that affect it? I apologize for asking too many questions in one post, I will try to ask less. But I don't want to make too many posts. Anyway if you don't mind I have added you to my buddy list on AIM, maybe we could chat there. Thanks!
Please use the panasonic one, I am NOT familiar with other formatter and do not want to investigate another variable.
Oh, I never meant to read that you are asking too many Qs. No, that is no what I meant. Feel free to ask as many as you want to. Oh, yes, add my AIM to your buddy list, we can then chat.... keep on trying, it will work.

Unfortunately you are not on. I am on right now. However I don't mind staying up all night if I must, but if it's getting late or if you are tired, you should go get some sleep. I definitely don't want to make you struggle as this is my problem so you should do it out of your available time and not squeeze in. Thanks! We could definitely discuss it a lot better on AIM. I've added you, talk to you when you are on.

Seriously, guys, what we need is an idiot-proof (me) step-by-step no-possibility-of-getting-it-wrong procedure to boot from internal MMC.
I have an Adata card and never realised it needed the Panasonic low-level formatting until now

IMO the solution is to make is as automatic as possible - http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ead.php?t=8631

I think I am a veteran of MMC boot
As for new forum - Well, personally I click 'new posts' or just use search, I never browse various subforums by its name, there is too many of them already (= more than one :-) and this IMO adds to the confusion. Where you should put topic about troubleshooting something with N810? 'Troubleshooting' 'N810' or 'OS2008'? Also sadly from time to time some poor soul gets an idea the best thing is to post same thing to all of them :-)
But still I see your point. It could be still useful to some people but only if someone would go over all old threads related to this and move it to this new 'mmc boot' forum. Which is IMO next to impossible and not worth the effort.

Well, when the master speaks out, I listen. I drop the idea. I think the present situuation is not as CRITICAL as I thought to be, it is managable, and, in particular, somebody find the energy to gather all info is "not worth the effort". Thanks.

How about a forum on "how to search effectively" instead?
Google-fu must be earned through hard work and perseverance.
Digging through the forum's search isn't that hard. The problem is that people don't search at all. Google gives quality hits on this matter linking to pages with detailed instructions.
