		+
		+	==== Guide ====
		+
		+	(these instructions need testing)
		+
		+	You will need at least a 1gb MMC, and these instructions are based on OS2008HE kernel. 48mhz kernel is highly recommended
		+
		+	Partition MMC to:
		+
		+	*p1: Large ext3 partition first
		+	*p2: 256 MB swap partition second
		+
		+	Grab http://packages.tspre.org/pool/user/b/bootmenu/bootmenu_1.5-2_armel.deb and install it.
		+
		+	* Open the main menu and tap Utilities -> Install Bootmenu to start the bootmenu install process.
		+	* First, say yes to removing "unneeded extra (and factory testing) stuff"
		+	* say yes to including bootmenu.conf (important). Reboot when done flashing.
		+	* This is a special boot menu where boot menu items are made in /etc/bootmenu.d/*.item and refresh_bootmenu.d will flash this to initfs. '''If you are cloning or booting other OS'es, you'll need to make such .item files'''
		+
		+	Grab e2fsprogs and install it - grab gnutar as well
		+
		+	*From x-terminal, root: insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/current/mbcache.ko
		+	*insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/current/jbd.ko
		+	*insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/current/ext3.ko
		+	*mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p1
		+	*mkswap /dev/mmcblk0p2
		+	*swapon /dev/mmcblk0p2
		+	*mkdir -p /mnt/mer
		+	*mkdir -p /etc/bootmenu.d
		+	*mount -t ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/mer
		+	*cd /mnt/mer; wget http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/0.9/mer-armel-770-image-v0.9.tar.gz
		+	*tar pzxvf mer-armel-770-image-v0.9.tar.gz
		+	*rm mer-armel-770-image-v0.9.tar.gz
		+	*umount /mnt/mer
		+	*Make /etc/bootmenu.d/mer.item with the following contents:
		+
		+	<pre>
		+	ITEM_NAME="Mer"
		+	ITEM_ID="mer"
		+	ITEM_DEVICE="mmcblk0p1"
		+	ITEM_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3"
		+	ITEM_FSTYPE="ext3"
		+	ITEM_FSOPTIONS="noatime,ro"
		+	ITEM_LINUXRC="linuxrc"
		+	</pre>
		+	*refresh_bootmenu.d (say yes to reflashing, no to backup of initfs. reboot)
		+	*Hold down Menu key when prompted while booting and select Mer in the boot menu.
		+
		+	=== BeagleBoard port ===
		+
		+	* [http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/0.9/mer-armel-beagleboard-bootfs-v0.9.tar.gz Boot filesystem], contains uImage (kernel packaged for uboot), for latest uboot.
		+	* [http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/0.9/mer-armel-beagleboard-rootfs-v0.9.tar.gz Root filesystem]
		+
		+	==== Guide ====
		+
		+	* Make sure you are running a RECENT uBoot, and you have USB input devices like keyboard or mouse, if you don't own a touchscreen..
		+	* Make a SD card, partitioned with 50mb FAT as first partition, extract boot fs on this, and the rest Linux partition, format this as ext3, and extract rootfs on this.
		+	* In uBoot, use the following commands (you may have to adjust video= parameter to match your display screen:
		+
		+	<pre>
		+	setenv bootcmd 'mmcinit; fatload mmc 0:1 0x80300000 uImage; bootm 0x80300000'
		+	setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS2,115200n8 console=tty0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=2 rootfstype=ext3 ro video=omapfb:mode:1280x720@60'
		+	saveenv
		+	boot
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	* The tablet should output kernel output on serial and on video, and on HDMI out it will eventually start X and show the First Boot Wizard. Good luck.
		+
		+	=== Pocket Loox 720 port (experimental) ===
		+
		+	* [http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/0.8/mer-armel-pocketloox720-kernel-v0.8.zImage zImage]
		+	* [http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/0.9/mer-armel-pocketloox720-v0.9.tar.gz rootfs]
		+
		+	==== Guide ====
		+
		+	* Set up a SD card with a logical partition, and inside this logical partition, make a 50mb or so FAT partition (p5), and put the zImage file on this filesystem, name it zImage. After the logical partition, make a ext3 partition (p2), and untar rootfs on it.
		+	* Grab [http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HaRET HaRET] and put it on the FAT partition, HaRET.exe.
		+	* Make a file, startup.txt, with the following contents:
		+
		+	<pre>
		+	set kernel "zImage"
		+	set mtype "617"
		+	set RAMADDR "0xa8000000"
		+	set cmdline "mem=128M rootdelay=1 root=b302 rw console=tty0"
		+	boot
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	* Unmount all filesystems, insert SD card into Pocket Loox, boot by running HaReT.exe
		+	* Experimental release, if you want to play with this - come hang out on #mer on irc.freenode.net and we'll try to guide you along. It is a 640x480 screen so our theme won't fit.
