I just have to select "External SD card"

Now my question: Is there any way I can change the boot order without EMMC?

It faults at
Code:
Booting attached kernel image ...
Wrong Image Format for bootm command
ERROR: can't get kernel image
and drops me to the shell if I don't make a selection.

Maybe I have to remove something from the internal NAND ubifs so it automatically tries the next entry? According to this it should try entries in this order by default: 1. Attached Kernel Image 2. External SD
So, you don't have access to Maemo 5, right? Maybe try to mount rootfs via Leste, or even chroot to it.
You should just run command like that:
Code:
ln -s /etc/bootmenu.d/40-maemo-leste.item /etc/default/bootmenu.item
So, if you have mounted rootfs (I'm not sure it's possible) on e.g. /mnt, let's type:
Code:
ln -s /mnt/etc/bootmenu.d/40-maemo-leste.item /mnt/etc/default/bootmenu.item
It's only idea, I'm not sure it will work
