Shove NITDroid on mmcblk1p4, and add u-boot to power48. When you get to the u-boot screen, run noloboot, then from there, you're in the multiboot screen. Go crazy. Oh, and on the multiboot screen, you need your Maemo kernel to be an image WITHOUT u-boot. And you need a Maemo/MeeGo kernel image WITH u-boot. Yes, it's a cluster****. But until NITDroid moves on to the superior u-boot, it's going to stay a cluster****.

Ah sorry, misread your post, should've noted that it's part of your other problem.
Just edit boot.scr on the FAT partition made by MeeGo on the SD card to point to p2.
You'll need to do some custom partitioning.
For example: 2GB Maemo FAT32 /media/mmc1 mmcblk1p1
4GB MeeGo System EXT3/4/BTRFS mmcblk1p2
64MB MeeGo /boot FAT mmcblk1p3
2GB NITDroid EXT3/4 mmcblk1p4

Okay - I understand a few things. I am assuming the steps would be:
1) Flash MMC with MeeGo
2) Repartition MMC with sfdisk (I don't exactly know the best route to mess around with the partition table with sfdisk)
3) Install NITDroid onto 2GB EXT3/4 partition
4) Use MeeGo's FAT (default is 16) partition as a FAT32 partition
5) Edit boot.scr (no file boot.scr in my FAT partition)

If you have a sd card reader for your pc, you know you can use gparted to create the partitions you require on there. (I think you might even be able to do use gparted with the sd card in your n900 and USB mass storage mode enabled, but I haven't tried it.)
You can then mount the meego image using mount -o with the offsets for the different partitions and just copy the contents across to each partition. Or you could flash the sd with the meego image, and then just use gparted to create the other partitions (instead of sfdisk).

sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF ,9144,C ,8,82 ,4096,83 ,2048,L EOF
I believe N12 can be thrown in with the ext4 partition, hence giving me a good amount of storage space... MeeGo only needs 4GB, NITDroid only needs 2GB, MeeGo only takes up 36% of it's 3.6GB partition...
Can someone please help me out? Give me some advice that I can follow Maybe some Linux guru can compile a custom image?
