Thanks for pointing that out :P .. Anyways, the boot menu worked and everything, however when I press 4 (R), I see the text and, the a few seconds later the NITDroid video starts looping .. But it stays in this loop forever .. I've left it for as much as 15-20 minutes, and the NITDroid Matrix video keeps playing repeatedly ..
I saw that in the boot menu the third option is the same as the 4th one, so I tried the 3rd one, and as far as I can tell, the behavior was exactly the same ..
Here are some pictures from after I select the 4th option:
Also, when I boot into Maemo and connect the N900 to my PC in Mass Storage mode, I see the 1MB partition now .. How can I change this so that I see the internal 27GB of the N900 like before all this ?
I think you can just format your sd card and repartition it.
Then just install nitdroid again.
But doesn't installing NITDroid modify the working of the Maemo OS in any way ? What about the bootloader thing ? And where are the NITDroid OS files installed: on the microSD card or the onboard 32 GB ?

nope, NITDroid doesn't modify the Maemo OS. But you're right, it does install multiboot on the onboard filesystem.
I'm guessing, however, seeing how far you got into booting, the bootloader is not the problem (and from what i understand multiboot also does the flashing, so the kernel can't be the problem either.).
Just try removing all files from the SD card and extracting the files again. If the problem still persists, try downloading the package again, perhaps it got corrupted.
tried reboot 3 times still error but cheers for replying *sonic* will give another reboot and then reinstall nitroid gain maybe
noted thsat after install kernel 04 from page 1 of new multiboot thread i now need option 5 (kernel04) to boot nitroid , wonder if thatys my issue ? boot menu list is
