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.

So, I downloaded the nookie-froyo-0.6.8.custom.3.zip file mentioned in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883175
I assume the next step is to make that zip file available to clockwork on the nook somehow? Is that correct? How do I do that?
Thanks.
custom.3 ? I see only nookie-froyo-flashable-0.6.8.zip on the op.
Anyway thats what I'm on and its what I finally decided on after a week of ROM jumping. It runs on the internal flash memory. emmc.
Two steps:
1)on your pc download a suitable CWM recovery .img file. Write it to your sd card via a sd card read/writer. I'm using the CWM 3.0.0.5 image. Next copy the above froyo image .zip to the sd card.
2)insert the sd card in your nook and boot from the power off state. It will boot off the SD card into CWR recovery. Use the recovery menu (vol+,vol-, nook n) and install the .zip file from the sd card. Next remove the sd card and reboot.
done.
I used the 4GB sdcard CWR .img file from here, can flash/backup/recover HC and froyo.

When I copy the froyo image to the card where do I place it?
Thanks!
Root directory
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"

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.
I have a nook myself and I run phiremod from emmc, but I have a friend who wants to keep his nook completely stock, but still use android roms via the sd card.
What would I have to do to make it so he could insert the SD card boot the nook and it boots to a froyo or eclair rom, and when he takes the card out and boots the nook it goes back to stock.
The guide to running phiremod from the sd card is beyond me and anything stable and simple will do.
Also, he's running the latest BN firmware on the nook.
This is the best:
[ROM][CM7] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards. with updater
This gives you CM7(2.3 Gingerbread) and it self adjusts depending on the Size of the card you use.
It also makes installing GoogleApps and Updating the ROM easy without the need to have a Linux PC or ClockWorkMod. You just put the ROM zip on the "boot" partition(the one that shows up in Windows) and Hold N+Power for 6 seconds when your Nook is off to boot to Recovery and it'll Automatically Update from the zip. It works the same way when installing Gapps.
All in all, the best expirience I've had with SD ROMs.
PS: I'm doing the same thing as your friend. I have Unrooted Stock on EMMC and run CM7 off my 4gb Class 6 SD.

I have installed CM7 on the SD card and NOT the Nook's internal memory, so if the SD card is taken out I still have my stock Nook ROM.
However, I have installed ClockWorkRecovery through the CM7 ROM (installed in SD Card) and now I would like to remove just CWR, since I cannot receive Nook official ROM update if CWR is installed.
Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks for the link, but the solution given there does not work.
The problem I am having is because CWR is installed on the Nook internal memory, but CM7 is installed in the SD card.
As of right now, I CANNOT BOOT INTO CWR. When I boot into CM7 (installed in SD card and not Nook's Internal memory) and try to reboot to CWR, the Nook will boot but then just go back to CM7
Did you try shutting the NC off, removing the SD card, then holding the power and 'n' button? I don't know if that will work unless you've got a custom rom...
I've been rooting the Color Nook for a while now, and also my Andy phones. I figured out a trick that might help you'all in the process. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, ever, so...
Most of these rooting and what-not procedures have you creating a bootable SD card, as well as installing a zip file on the SD card to install on the Nook. In creating the bootable SD card, however, you often don't have room for the zip file, or you put it on there and it doesn't seem to show up as selectable once you've booted into CWM.
The trick I use all the time is I have a CWM boot SD card - 4GB cheapo card that just has that on it. I put it in and boot up. Then I use the menu to mount the sdcard and then immediately unmount it. Once you do this, you can pop the card out and stick another one in - one with your zip file(s) on it. Then do your install through the menus.
If you don't mount and unmount, it won't like you changing the card and it will fail.
I hope this helps.
I just have CWM installed internally, so reflashing is super simple.
No need for a bootable SD at all.

Sometimes you don't have that option. Like when installing Phiremod to the EMMC...
