Is Phiremod a bootable SD?

I am thinking of going with the new phiremod, but I'm curious if it boots from SD card or internal. I have nookie froyo on sd right now but like running stock rooted for the stock reader. I'd like to be able to switch between both as I do with nookie.
"Installation for V5:
- Flash with the latest ClockworkMod Recovery for nook from Rom Manager
- Unzip and copy all contents of "phiremod-V5.tar.gz" to the root of your SD
- Place SD in nook and power on
- Format SYSTEM and then DATA
- Flash phiremod
- Once complete, remove SD card and reboot"

Its Internal

Is this possible?
Q: IS THERE AN SD-ONLY "BOOTABLE" VERSION?
A: Not from the nighty builds. However-- should someone want to create such a bootable SD-- (warning: Slightly technical answer all it would take to create one is a new uRamdisk file with the partitions in init.encore.rc pointing to the correct partitions on the SD card.

There is an SD boot version of CM7 from about a week ago in the NC Development Forum.
If you read the thread, there are instructions for installing the Market and Gapps, and for extending the /sdcard partition to include the full size of your card.
You can then install all the same things as phiremod did, if you like, or just do your own customizations.
It has ADW installed, and the ADW and CM7 settings that are included cover a lot of the ground that previously required a whole bunch of utility apps...
PS It also include Bluetooth.

Using ONE SD card to flash SD ROM? Possible?

SO basically I want to
1.) burn a CWR SD card.
2.) Put it in the nook and boot into CWR
3.) Take the card out, format it back to fat32
4.) Put the Phiremod 6.3 SD flashable rom.zip on it.
5.) Pop it back into the nook and mount the storage.
6.) Flash Phiremod onto the SD card.
7- Turn nook on and Profit??

Well, I just booted my NC to CWR from SD, then removed the SD and was able to read a second card without any error from CWR.
So I suppose that would work in theory, the only difference would be you are doing it on one single card and not two. Though I don't know how safe it would be.

Yea I took the plunge and tried it.
Although I flashed
Update 4/30: v6.2 Update(This will format /system only): http://www.multiupload.com/58WUW1AZ0A
MD5 - 70b2ff0345897252f3f3dff8728a4b55
found in this thread Flashing Roms to SD CARD -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=998861
and I didn't boot into Phiremod, instead it was nook stock.
Would I first need to flash V6.zip, then flash the 6.2 update.zip?
EDIT* Did not work. Still boots into stock

How about you try this:
[ROM][CM7] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards. with updater
I don't know if it works with a Phiremod ROM but it doesn't hurt to try. I used this to install plain CM7 on my Card.

Help with Cyanoboot

I'm trying to restore my nook color to stock. When I hold the N key to boot into the Cyanoboot menu, all the SD card options are greyed out. I have my SD card formated with the 1gb clockworkmod file. Any ideas when I can do it boot form the SD card?

The SD options are greyed out because your system is not recognizing your SD card as a bootable SD. That is why it is booting from cyanoboot to begin with (from emmc). Using the 1 GB card from eyeballer should boot with two skulls and ...loading... Try my new CWM bootable SD in my tips thread linked in my signature. I also have a link (in item A12) to a 1.4.3 stock zip that has been modified so it can be flashed with CWM.

flashable zip not showing up in CWM.. DS card

hello all,
im trying to run cm 10 on my nook hd+ from the sd card,, using evergreens directions.. and i think its almost working, i burned the cwm image on to the sd card using win32 disc image... and then i transfer the zip file to the same sd card, just simple drag and drop.. and i even get the hd+ to boot from the sd card cyno boot into CWM... but when i try to apply the zip file from the external sd card.. the rom will not show up... it just gives me "choose zip from sd card" /sdcard/0/ and then clockworkmod/ below that, when i try to tree down.. it never shows my zip file..
i dont think its a borked ds card its prob a partition issue.. but im not sure.. so
Help?

No, do not put the zip on the SD. You have to put it on internal memory by downloading with stock or using your USB cable. Then choose install from internal memory.

Ok, but i thought both the CWM and CM10.1 zip needed to reside on the same SD card if you are running the External version of CM10. i wanted to try it out before i root and go with the native version.. but now i re-read the instructions... i was wrong... all that needs go on the sd card is the CWM image... i will try it again... and thanks again for all the hard work don on getting these roms to fly... this should be a bit of fun...

[Q] Stock 2.1.0 bootable from sdcard

I have been trying to create the SD card. I have followed the following instructions:
"You'll need my CWM early 7.1 image that you'll need to write to an sdcard, at least 4G in size. (gunzip and use dd or winImage)
Also get the the stock image from stock-ovation-2.1.0.zip and either place it to internal storage or reboot from the card and use adb push it to /sdcard (basically it's like you install CM ROM, refer to user-friendly thread in General if you cannot follow my condensed instructions here, only use different file name). Note this already has gapps and other stuff, so you don't need any additional installs other than stock at the beginning."
However, on the SD card there is a partition with 5 files but it is only 110mb and I cannot write the ovation zip file to it. I tried using a partition manager to increase the size of the partition but that did not work. To make sure that i am doing this right I unzip the CWM early 7.1 image and use WIN32 to flash it to the SD card. How do I increas the size of the partition so I can put the ovation zip file on the SD card Thanks

You need to download that file onto your internal storage, e.g. boot your nook without the new SD card, navigate with a browser or other means, and download the file. When you later boot into the cwm on the SD card, you will see the option to apply a zip file from internal storage, and navigate to it from there. You do not want to resize any partitions on SD card.

So the SD card is bootable and the file I need to put on internal storage is the ovations zip file? So once I have rebooted applied the zip is the B&N operating system installed on the SD card so I can delete the zip file on internal memory? Thanks I bought the Nook HD+ rooted and I want to deregister it from the previous owner and register it in my name. I assume this would be the way to do it without returning the Nook to stock. Thanks

Do you have his screenname and password? You will need it to register it on SD and then you can deregister.
