I was going to try dual-booting nookie-froyo using the instructions below. There was a .zip to download that created a bootable partition on the sd card from clockwork. I flashed that and the dual-boot was installed successfully. However, their download link for nookie froyo was labeled "remove-dualboot." Obviously not the nookie ROM.
After reading the thread on nookie froyo in the development section, there is no mention of a dual-boot .zip. So now I'm wondering if I can just flash the nookie froyo ROM or if I need to create the image on the sd card, partition, etc.

EDIT: Follow instruction from this thread (HERE). Booted up fine but I immediately missed stock. Not worth it yet for me. Mods, delete please.

I have seen all the instructions for putting Gingerbread on the internal memory.
However, I would like to put in on an SD card and boot from that.
I have done this with Froyo and Honeycomb but I don't see files or instructions to allow me to do that with Gingerbread.
1. Is there a Gingerbread image I can burn to an SD card and boot from that?
2. If not, why not, when the other versions have that capability.
there's a gingerbread cm7 sd image in the development forum that I'm using right this second. Works fine for me so far
Can you give me the link to the Gingerbread image you mentioned please

should be on the first page - look for CM7 and SD in the title.
I had my 1.1 NC rooted using the GMPower method (there's also the monster rootpack?). I once tried to install CWM from the market but that caused an infinite reboot into recovery. Since then, a lot of things changed and I'm clueless on how to proceed especially with CM7.
I would like to install CM7 but which method is applicable. I found two:

My questions are will these work for my 1.1 rooted NC (GMPower method)? What's the difference and which is better? Can the latest CWM be installed onto my NC without causing the infinite reboot?
I appreciate any help.

Second link in your post for installing CM7 on SD card.
I did that, infinite loop. When I install CM from the sd card, it installs fine, but as soon as it reboots, it goes into CM 3.0.0.5 from the internal memory. Should I just wipe /boot?
definitely don't wipe /boot or it won't boot up. So what process are you following exactly? You created a bootable SD card with CM 3.0.10 right? You'll need that for a ext4 system (which CM7 is). That's step #1 in the post nthesame already linked to. Then copy the CM7 .zip (the one for encore final, should be about 90mb) to the SD card and install it using CM recovery (install .zip from location on sd card). If you do this, it will boot into CM7.... make sure to remove your SD card though after installing it, as the default is to boot to SD if it finds any boot files on it.
I used an 8gb image from one of those running 3.0.0.6, not 3.0.0.10, so I'd assume it was good.
It used to be a dual boot, but I removed that and just tried to overwrite stock with no success.
When I tried to install first, I followed the wiki to the tee, nothing.
I just got my nook today, and am about to start the process tonight... but from what i have read so far, your trouble may be that you used CWM 3.0.0.6 vice 3.0.10... seems something was changed to stop the infinate loop...
just purchased nook and flashed to autonooter.
was gonna hold off until the B&N update to see what it brought and didn't want to lose the magazine capabilities but can't wait anymore to go full cm7.
question: since i 'nooted, i already have cwm and the market. do i need to install again, or can i just download cm7 from the teamdouche link to sd card and boot up?
thanks in advance
anyone? little help?

Yep - you can install CM7 by getting the update.zip from teamdouche, copying it to your SD card, booting into CWM and selecting Install update.zip from SD card. This will overwrite your stock with CM7.

Are you sure of this? If you look at the steps described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227 you have to first prepare your SDCard and then install from that. I tried just installing from cwm in stock root and ended up getting assert errors and aborted installation... and if you wipe the caches like it explains needs to happen, you are stuck booting into cwm untill such time as you follow the instructions in the thread I posted, which work without a hitch if you are able to follow instructions,

What special preparation? The image being burned to the SD card is just clockwork mod, which isn't necessary if he already has CWM. Once in CWM, that guide just has you flash the CM7 update off the SD card. I don't know about the assert errors, but I don't think it has to do with how you've prepared the SD card.

So what are you wanting to do? Boot CM7 off SD card? If so, this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
Sk8house911 is right. Just make sure you flash the correct cwr from rom manager, which is 3.0.1.0 And make a backup before you do anything.

If you want to keep the stock B&N reader, you can install CM7 to a SD card per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957. I did this and also installed a dual-boot menu, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962708, and can select either stock on the eMMC or CM7 on the SD card.
I'm quite happy with this arrangement, although I may change things around after the B&N Froyo update arrives.
I bought my daughters Nook Colors for Christmas. They are registered on B&N and are running the 1.4.1 B&N Software. I've been trying since last night to figure out how the heck to get these things rooted and get CM7 on them.
I followed these directions (androidforums.com/nookcolor-all-things-root/327798-how-make-bootable-cwm-clockworkmod-version-3-2-0-1-recovery-sd-card.html[/url]) and cannot get it to boot to clockworkmod. No matter what I try, it just boots up to the nook software. I'm using a 2gb Sandisk card.
I'm not new to modding, I've been running CM since the G1, and I thought I knew what I was doing. Apparently I don't. I've been reading threads all over here and everywhere, and until I can get past the rooting step, I can't do anything.
What am I doing wrong? Can I wish for a Christmas miracle and maybe someone can walk me through step by step what I should do? I'm frustrated as can be.
You do not need to root the stock firmware if you are planning to run Cyanogenmod from either SD (external) or eMMC (internal).
It may help to keep in mind that you have no less than three options, each of which require different steps.
If you want to root B&N 1.4.1, read up a few pages in GMPOWER's updated ManualNooter thread in the Development forum: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400486 HINT: Load ONLY his latest ManualNooter on BN 1.4.1. Be sure to block automatic B&N OTA updates to preserve root in the future.
If you want a bootable CM install from SD, try the Size-Agnostic bootable thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
For an internal eMMC install, his thread looks good: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227
Sorry, I'm at the ER and can't search right now. Editing forum posts on my NC is a bit awkward!

I do want to do the internal eMMC install, but that also requires the CWM bootable sd card. That's the step I can't seem to complete successfully.
Got it up and running!! I think I must have had a corrupted CWM bootable file or something.
I found a guide on NookDevs about Nookie Froyo, a FroYo install that runs from the SD card. The guide gives this link as the location:
edencomputing . com/nookcolor/nookie-froyo-SDIMAGE_2GB-0.6.8.img.gz
but that link's broken. Can anyone find me a Nookie Froyo image, or similar image i can burn to an SD and get an android environment? I tried honeycomb but it was ~laggy~.

Why are you trying to use this old stuff? The new CM's are very mature and operate smoothly.

Why bother with Froyo(Android 2.2)? Just follow the directions to install CyanogenMod 7(Android 2.3) that are on NookDev. It's much more mature, has more features, and is specifically designed for the Nook Color(tablet controls, bottom notifications, ect...).

If you're still interested, there's a dual-boot guide somewhere in the development section and it contains a secondary-boot emmc flash-able zip of nookie froyo 0.6.8.
But as the others have said, cm7 is a way better choice. And if it's the froyo look your after, there's a cm7 theme called "retrodroid" that looks exactly like stock cm6.
