The bootloader is installed but it ALWAYS boots to flash.
Any tips?
Thanks!
TROUBLESHOOTING
MENU WILL NOT APPEAR
boot to flash and open xterm and become root and run the following command:
chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool –set-root-device ask:flash
Instead of flash, you can also set the default boot image to be mmcX
mmc2 is partition 2 on internal
mmc3 is partition 3 on internal
mmc12 is partition 2 on external
mmc13 is partition 3 on external
Your menu will not display until you set it to ask:somthing then reboot.

Thanks penguinbait, it works!. I didn't try it before because I thought the menu was working. I wasn't expecting this "list" of possible booting options!

Now I have a different problem 
This time, I tried to clone the OS to a 4 GB SD card. The installer ran smoothly but I get "Booting from mmc12 failed" and sometimes it boots but freezes on the Nokia splash screen.
Any tips?
Thanks!

Make sure your virtual memory is off.
Make sure no usb cables plugged in.
Make sure your booting in the same device you cloned it on?
You are installing from flash, not sd booted
Does your old (2gb) card still work? If you reclone the old card will it boot?

Hey, installed KDE over the weekend. Props. PROPS. it's quick!
Two questions:
1) Does this use power management like the built in OS? Should I see the same or similar battery life as if I was only booted into Maemo?
2) If you use the screen lock there seems to be no way to unlock the OS without there being a keyboard attached. So I guess the best way is to activate the "regular" screen lock. Any plans on allowing an onscreen keyboard for unlocking the screen?

Well it becomes MUCH more useful when you have an 810. I don't just mean the screen lock, the whole thing. The keyboard shortcuts make it much more useable. I honestly don't even know how to do it. I tried several onscreen keyboards, but I must be missing something, because none of them work above the screenlock?
