I think the maximum is seven without extra efforts. A possible setup could look like this: Device Number Media /dev Partition Type Content 31, 6 NAND mtdblock6 Dist1 179, 0 SD-Card mmcblk0 (raw device) 179, 1 SD-Card mmcblk0p1 primary partition Dist2 179, 2 SD-Card mmcblk0p2 primary partition Dist3 179, 3 SD-Card mmcblk0p3 primary partition Dist4 179, 4 SD-Card mmcblk0p4 extended partition logical partitions 179, 5 SD-Card mmcblk0p5 logical partition Dist5 179, 6 SD-Card mmcblk0p6 logical partition Dist6 179, 7 SD-Card mmcblk0p7 logical partition Dist7 Off course you can choose a different primary/logical ratio. > Is there a guide to multiple OS on freerunner? http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting_from_SD I just had a look. A lot of the information is just wrong or at least outdated. I now understand why most users install qi ;-) Various efforts have been made to supply a bootmenu for qi (e.g. by using kexec). I don't know whether they where successful. I still stay with u-boot for my multi dist setup, cause it has a boot menu. It's only constraint is that the kernel need's to be within the first 2G of the SD-Card (I just prepared a special subdirectory on the first partition). Booting kernels >2M need special boot parameters, but has been reported to work on this list. > Eg:- an external small GSM antenna to enhance reception.... etc. I use one to have a signal on my Desk (antenna outside the window).
