This should be flashed after the flash with fiasco with the command:

flasher-3.5.exe -k zImage-2.6.28-maemo40.fiasco -f

not the .fiasco kernel image.

What I tried now was to copy /etc/bootmenu.d/BackupMenu.item to /etc/multiboot.d/BackupMenu.item.

When I now reboot my N900 with keyboard open, Multiboot shows up with a new option. but this option has no title and also doesn't do anything when executed....

S will bring up a shell that you may be able to run backupmenu.item as described in the first post but as I do not use it I cannot tell you for sure.

I have a bit of knowledge of multiboot and am pretty sure there is no way to tell it to start a shell and run backupmenu.item. The following are what can be configured with a Multiboot item:

• Which kernel to load,
• Which file system is used
• What modules needed
• Where the rootfs is
• FS options
• programme to excecute when switching over to root (searches usual locations by default
• Where to put the default rootfs

I cannot see where you could tell it to excecute a script so if the first method doesn't work, you will not be able to use backupmenu with multiboot.
