An interesting method.
I was able to manage this by doing:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Talk:Neo_1973_and_Windows#Another_maybe_quite_unsecure_method_.28WinXP_Professional_32_Bit.29

It worked for me with SHR, Om2008.8, Om2008.12, Debian.
The Neos in here http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Dhmoko do that all day
