The original idea was that it should be possible to swap the SD card and the bootmenu should still be there and work as expected. I therefore flash it into the NAND kernel partition. You can still have a regular distro in the NAND rootfs partition. You just need to place the distros kernel into the /boot folder as you would do on a SD card. Of course nothing prevents you from adding a bootmenu partition to your SD card. The kernel doesn't care how it is started and just runs its initramfs. The only 'problem' which I can think of at the moment is, that it will present itself in the menu. So you would have the possibility of a recursive bootmenu. This could be taken care of by a parameter on the kernel command line which is read by the initramfs.
