1.4.1 nook and CM7 running off mSD card

I would first like to thank everyone that has been putting in the time to help around here. I have been here reading for several days to figure out what i need to do, which hasn't been easy, and I noticed the many people helping out.

That being said I'm a bit confused by the various versions, posts dating back to the beginning of '11 and outdated information all over the web in regards to what I'm looking to do.

Basically, I want to keep my nook stock at 1.4.1 and run off the sd card for anything other that I wish to run. So far I loaded the generic image file to my sandisk class 4 16gb mSD card. Then i placed the cm encore full 253 file on the card as well as the most recent gapps file from the wiki on cm7 and put the card in my nook and fired it up.

It loaded and inflated all the files and I assume it installed the program on the sd card. Last it said was it removed the gapps file, flushed the caches, and said it was going to reboot ..... and ...... powered back on and booted perfectly into the nook color environment just like I didn't do a thing.

I could use a pointer telling where I need to go find the information to get things working right or some advice on where i went wrong.

Any help would be much appreciated...

 

Start up menu ( ummm ... no I didn't know i had to ) Where does one do that?

I just dl'ed the 7.1 stable ... i went with the nightly because the most informative post used that as their example.

Yet again there is soo much different information all over the place it is easy to get confused even your very tech savy.

Thanks again colchiro (love the avatar!)

 

well formatted the sd card then did everything the same except with the cm7.1 build and boom Im going strong with the cyanogen 7 mod... (whats that camera all about?!?) next i will add gappz on ..

is there a way to set it up to either boot to sd or emmc ( is the startup menu in the nc environment or the cm7 ?)
