Searching this forum has helped ALOT in getting more out of my N810. Thanks a bunch!

So, I've successfully followed directions to get the bootmenu working and cloned the OS onto mmcblk0p2.

1) When I boot, I see green text stating that initializing WiMax & RF#2 fails? Can't read it all, since the boot menu pops up too quickly. Is this due to boot menu? I hadn't seen it before. WiFi works fine upon complete boot from either partition.

2) When booting to the internal flash, and then I USB connect, I get 'Memory card in use', which is to be expected.

However, I partitioned mmcblk0p1 as vfat, and boot off of mmcblk0p2.

What do I need to change to get the N810 to serve up mmcblk0p1 to my computer instead of attempting all of mmcblk0?

3) Boot up doesn't seem to read /etc/fstab. What do I need to change to mount swap (mmcblk0p3) and the dos partition (mmcblk0p1) to /media/mmc2 as it does in the original boot?

Penguinbait's tool only lists mtdblock4 as an option for swap. (Which if partitioned would be optimal.)

I guess he's more setup for both internal and external flash drives with alternating swap there.

I have a couple of 8G's on the way. Might have to try the Ubuntu and Android setups...

Again, thanks for the info!

The wimax fail in initfs is known issue fixed in relatively recent (Jan 14, 2009) bootmenu. Not sure how up-to date are other tools based on bootmenu but you can get the current fixed one from http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/#initfs
Still, if it works for you I wouldn't bother. The bug is caused by removing too much in "remove extra stuff" phase. N810 wimax edition has some extra files in initfs (some wimax related library in /usr/local/lib). Most probably the wimax radio is initialized again in rootfs so no harm is done (just a guess).
Known issue, check links in http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/#initfs
Yes

Thanks fanoush! Your hard work & info is much appreciated.

I had tried pb, but MeR didn't like it. MeR's install/bootmanager didn't like my mmcblk0 clone...

So, I'll see if I can figure things out a bit better.

I tried NITdroid, but seems it doesn't work on N810WME's I gather.

Lot's of cool stuff here, but it can be confusing to find the right/current solution.

Enh, having fun, that's what counts.
