Qi - how do I make it boot from another partition on the SD card?

[David Reyes Samblas Martinez]

I'm talking about the files on /boot of p3 partition not whole files list :)

>> Hi,
>>
>> I use Qi as the bootloader on my FreeRunner.
>> I have sevaral partitions on my SDcard:
>> p1 - vfat data partition (only data, nothing else)
>> p2 - ext3 primary partition, this is my main os. Currently holds QtMoko v8)
>> p3 - this is aother ext3 primary partition, for me to keep a backup os on.
>> Currently, it holds a copy of QtMoko v8.
>> p4 - swap, 128Megs

>> First I thought that the "press AUX" trick from the Qi wiki page would let

>> kernel, so not useful for me in this situation.
>>
>> Then I read about the /boot/noboot-GTA02 file, so I did 'touch
>> /boot/noboot-GTA02' (when /dev/mmcblk0p2 was my root partition).
>> Now Qi skips the p2 partition, but after that  it justs sits therr, it won't
>> boot the p3 partition.
>>
>> What can be wrong?
>> And how do I fix it?
>> (I have checked, and the files in  /boot and elsehwere looks correct)
