U-boot

The u-boot bootloader version is (U-Boot 2008.10-rc2), newer ones will work too.
Access to the U-boot git is here.

Partitioning the MMC

You'll need to create two partitions; one for the u-boot and one for maemo.
Eventually you'll need to copy the u-boot.bin, MLO and uImage binaries to the u-boot partition.

Suitable bootargs for this setup are:

OMAP3 beagleboard.org # setenv bootargs console=ttyS2,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootfstype=ext3 rootwait omapfb.mode=dvi:800x480MR-16@60
OMAP3 beagleboard.org # saveenv

For kernel 2.26.27 (pre-alpha2 sdk):

OMAP3 beagleboard.org # setenv bootargs console=ttyS2,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootdelay=1 video=omapfb:vram:2M,vram:4M,mode:800x600@60
OMAP3 beagleboard.org # saveenv
