how TO BOOT MOBILE FROM FLASH

*ON YOUR OWN RISK
This article covers the steps you need to follow to boot from a flash card with an N800 on N810. The process is somewhat involved, so some familiarity with the command line is recommended.
Advanced users may wish to read advanced booting as well, for more advanced booting-related configuration and setup information.

First, we need to install wget, so open Xterm and, as root, run:
apt-get install wget
Then run:
mkdir -p /home/user/bin
cd /home/user/bin
wget http://www.nmacleod.com/nokia/bin/nupgrade.sh
wget http://www.nmacleod.com/nokia/bin/tar
chmod +x nupgrade.sh tar
Then, to install the proper filesystem tools, temporarily add Extras-devel and run:
apt-get install e2fsprogs
NOTE: Do not upgrade existing packages with Extras-devel enabled as this may break things in new and interesting ways.

Remove Extras-devel when finished.
