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

now I realize I'll prolly get the lynch mob soon after i post this... being that all the research is over in the dev section, but my question is fairly complicated and i cant seem to find a direct answer from my own reading.
now i have root on my NC and i would love to put a custom recovery/rom on my NC. could any one point me in the right direction to get me started loading a custom recovery? i dont want to run froyo off of an SD card i would love to have it just be a giant version of my phone(I'm sorry if that's asking to much)
i learned and pushed myself to do it a while back on my EVO 4g when i saw there was a rom with wimax capability's and that was my first time rooting anything. I do on the other hand work as a sprint instore service and repair tech. so all of this reading isnt completely lost on me.
and my second question. when i booted my nook back up after i let the battery die, all my setting and apps were gone. any one know anything about it?
thank you for any answer, and I'm very sorry about my spelling and grammar, i know it sucks >.<
i think my biggest confusion/hangup so far has been the custom recovery not sure if i have this right or not but. these are the steps (i think) i need to take.
1. aquire root. [check]
2.custom recovery.[?]
3.custom kernel.[?]
4. custom rom.[?]
So what you want to do is flash a custom rom? You would just download a CWM sd card image. Burn that image to your SD card. Then, grab the rom you want, such as nookie-froyo, or whatever. Copy that zip to the SD card.
Put the SD card into your nook, then reboot. It should boot into CWR and from there you can just flash the zip. The same thing with a custom kernel, just copy the zip onto your CWM sd card, reboot, and flash the zip.
I'm not sure if that is what you are asking, though.
I've actually figured it all out finally. is there any way to see what my CPU is running at?
The speed of your NC can be done by downloading 2 free apps in the market:
Linpack for Android
Quadrant Standard
The Linpack app will tell you how many MFLOPS (Millions of Floating Point Operations Per Second) and Quadrant will give you a score to benchmark for CPU, I/O, and graphics. They will also give you as a reference how you compare to other devices.

So I'm new to Nook. In fact it's still being shipped for the wife, lol. Little that she knows, it's getting nootered before it even gets in her hands.
I've rooted phones and flashed custom ROMs.
From what you're saying above, does CWM reside solely on the SD card? That's different than a mobile phone. So any time we need to install a custom ROM (even the first time), we'd have to boot using the SD Card that has CWM, right? Of course I'd have to root the nook first.
following should really go into a different thread:
So whats the best ROM? So many out there. I just want to be able to use all google apps and market (for kindle app).
Thanks in advance.

You can still install Clockwork from the market and it'll run of the NC without an SD card. I've done it. But for the installation of CM7 (something to do with EXT4? I don't even know what that means...) CWM on an SD was necessary.
On what the best ROM is. Well, looking in the general section subsection here it looks like a lot of people are on rooted stock 1.1. I tried Froyo and it was cool and all, but I missed having the full 8GB of storage on the nook. I haven't tried Honeycomb yet, so no idea on that one. I currently have CM7 nightly 8 on my NC and really like it. I may not have all the storage space still (they're working on it) but it's snappy and sleek.
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.
Website: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-dual-boot-nook-color-with-froyo-on-external-memory-card/
EDIT: Follow instruction from this thread (HERE). Booted up fine but I immediately missed stock. Not worth it yet for me. Mods, delete please.
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,
migrax
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:

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 have put the HC v4 image on my SD card using the link here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936995
I would like to have google apps (including market) as well but I don't know how to do this (i'm very new so need detailed instructions).
I have another SD card that has Phiremod and HC dualboot and that DOES have market (found those instructions here)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045018
I want to have JUST HC on my SD with Market on it.
How do I do this?

Do you mean this little piece right here:
"Update 3/28 : HCv4 2nd Edition SDcard:
http://www.multiupload.com/GJ3YFAP8D1
MD5 - 7d615cda41fe0a17758b0bd64fd2ea99"
Will this be an image file I can simply write to my SD?

Unfortunately no. But if you already have an sdcard wit a rom oñ it with the correct partitions. Just flash my dualboot_cwm_1.0.zip. then follow directions in OP.

thanks for being so speedy!
Unfortunately I get completely lost in your original post. Your Phiremod/HC dualboot instructions were simple enough even for me to understand
Unless its an image file I can write to my SD, i find myself lost.......
No problem though, i will just continue messing about with phiremod and hc.
thanks again for your help
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.
