I'm wanting to setup my Nook Color to dual boot between the Nook Rom and either CM7 or Honeycomb. I've heard that it's possible to have it boot from the SD card. I just need a simple way of doing it. Thanks!
The problem with dual boot is recovery can only access the main boot (the one it defaults to)
For sdcard, burn your desired rom to the sdcard and run it, it won't change the Emmc

How do I boot from a micro sd card on the Nook Color? I'm trying to dual boot with a different OS.
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 just bought a new Nook, to give to my mother. I am going to put CM7 on it for her(Internal Memory) and I was wondering the easiest way to do this, because I already have an SD card that if you insert it will boot the Nook into Clockwork. I used that to put CM7 on my own nook. Can i just boot the new one up with that SD card in it and CM7+gapps in it, and flash them? Or do I need to somehow *root* the new Nook before I can do this? I'm just not really sure how the entire process works. I should point out that my Nook is from a while back and hers is obviously brand new, in case there have been hardware changes that would effect it.
You do not need to root the nook to install CM7 on it... the hardware changes will most likely already been merged into CM7...
The one caveat... if its an old CWM SD... make sure you have the newest... or convert it to a TWRP card.
Is hers a Color or a Tablet? There is a difference. If it's a Color, see the link in my sig.
I recently purchased a nook hd+, went through leapinlar's tutorial on how to boot into cwm, root, and modify my stock nook with a custum rom(carbon) on a 1gb sd card. I just purchased a 32db sd card and I want to know the process or is there a process to put twrp recovery on my nook and be able to boot into it without having to put the 1gb sd card in every time I want to get into recovery. I've searched some but get more confused the more I look and I don't feel like bricking my nook. Can I also boot into recovery with carbon rom? I've tried by going through the power menu, reboot and by turning off the nook and hitting power and the "n" key and neither will get me into recovery. From what I've read I think I have to put the "ovation-sdcard-twrp-files.zip" file on the 32gb sd card but not sure on the procedure. So if any one can give me a dumb down version of what I have to do to be able to keep my 32gb sd card in the nook at all times and still get into recovery like any other nexus or android phone would do, I would greatly appreciate it.
P.S. I have formatted the 32gb sd card with sdformatter but was unsure if I was supposed to use partition software or the zip file for sd cards larger than 4gb.
Thanks again.......

Never mind, I figured out that I never added the 6028 internal cwm zip and that was my problem, now I can boot into recovery.
Currently CM 10.1.3 is installed directly in my nook.
Im thinking about installing the stock OS to a SD Card and dual booting from time to time.
When you Dual Boot, is it simulare to a linux/windows dual boot, you pick a default OS and time out period ?
Any usefull links on dual booting would be great.
- thanks

No, it is not like that. If you want to bootable to internal memory, leave the SD out. If you want to boot to SD insert the SD and boot. It is possible to set up a boot menu to leave the card in and let you choose from a menu, but verygreen's stock SD does not use that.
