I have a N810 and 3 OS in the same device.

Now you will ask me : How?

The answer is below:

1 – Move your Maemo to the MMC internal

* Advantage : you will have more space.

Steps:  http://maemo.org/community/wiki/HowTo_EASILY_Boot_From_MMC_card/

Now you have the Maemo in the internal MMC.

2 -  Flash Mamona in your flash memory

* Advantage: Nowadays Mamona distro is good for developers.

Steps:  http://dev.openbossa.org/trac/mamona/wiki/Releases/0.1/RunningMamona

3 – Debian XFCE in external MMC

* Advantage:  Debian rocks !!

You should partition your MicroSD in 2 parts:

- partition 1 – 100MB – fat32

- partition 2 – ALL THE REST – ext2

Download the Debian rootfs

wget  http://debian.i2c3.com/debian-armel-n800-xfce-beta3.tar.bz2

Untar the Debian rootfs in the second partition:

tar -xvjf  debian-armel-n800-xfce-beta3.tar.bz2

Boot using your external MMC.

That’s all!!
