Please check my thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1511747 as I have figure out an alternate... and easier method to get the same thing done. I have also figured out how to set the default OS that the TP would choose while booting up after the UImage has been deleted.
To the OP, I am not trying to hijack your guide and thread. I think this guide is very helpful. I mean no disrespect to you and the time you spent creating the video guide. I am just presenting a new and different method as well as a step that I think you did not go over in the video.
Thank you.

Hi guys,
How to I go about creating an update-script? Over the past few days I'be been cooking my own ROM (it's a port from the Incredible S dumps) and creating the update script is the last step before I test the ROM out and if it works, uploading to the Android Development forum.
I'm using a Nexus One btw.
So, could any assist me?
Thanks,
redbullcat
I tried to make my own the other day, and I found a helpful thread on the commands you can use for it. Ill try and find the link then update here.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=641223
This one is for update-scripts but I imagine there's not that much difference, correct me if I'm wrong. There does seem to be other commands for the same things in updater-script.
Another suggestion is to look at existing updater-scripts and see what makes them tick. They are quite self explanitory, nice and easy to read.

You can take an update script from another custom rom, i think.
Don't forget to sign and do nandroid.

You could also do this, but depending on what the custom rom changes you may need to change things in there, maybe not.

i've just noticed your posting in the wrong section of the forum, this section is for the htc hero g2 touch. you may get better help in the correct section.
So I have been working on this for a while trying to get things to cross compile, and i got this to compile it is the Source and the program runs on the nook. Next we will have to write our new init.rc to mount our own os. Someone will have to help me with some research, but I just thought you should know.
Here are the files:
2nd-init.tar
To recomile with the NDK use the following command:
Code:
/home/<user>/Downloads/android-ndk-r7/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc --sysroot=/home/<user>/Downloads/android-ndk-r7/platforms/android-14/arch-arm/ 2nd-init.c
(Thanks to Indirect)
GOOD LUCK

Jeeze idk, i completely forgot about this thread until you guys posted on it. I never did to much testing. This was mostly done in concurrence with the Kexec-Mod since i had the toolchain up and running. If i remember correctly it did generate the second init file, don't know if it ever loaded it, but i can work on it some more if people want. I was hoping some one would point me in the direction they needed me to go with this.

I prefer first a compatible Custom Recovery
I compiled, but I don't know how adapt the hijack...
what is 2nd-init? Is it a bootloader? kernel? recovery? where does it come in the boot sequence?

Pratically.. it's the method with many motorola phone (with locked bootloader) can run custom roms like cyanogemod.
However the problem is it requires kexec mod.

Sorry, but you're wrong.
From this source use the Hijack method. This mean you can instal a custom rom, but you can't replace the kernel or bootloader.
From the source:
It's also important to remember that 2nd-init does NOT unlock the bootloader, nor does it allow you to run a custom kernel. It simply allows us to utilize the kernel that is there for our own means

That method is good enough to run CM9 and it's relative simple to port.
The kexec method is something different, but better: is a system call that enables you to load and boot into another kernel from the currently running kernel.
kexec performs the function of the boot loader from within the kernel.... essentially a hijack to allow us to call another kernel as a function of the stock one, allowing us to bypass the locked bootloader.
Source
Someone has had success with this method
See this twitter feed:
http://twitter.com/androidnemith
@AndroidNemith just have seen your photo with the CWM on the Nook tablet. How did you do that since the Bootloader is locked ?
@PetePetePete1 Hijacking . Same way moto defy and others are doing it. Right now i am kicking it manually looking for a better way now.
@AndroidNemith can you show your current state XDA developers, because they are still searching for a method to get a custom bootloader
@PetePetePete1 It's not quite ready and i got distracted by NookColor bits. If you want to see what i am doing look at the Moto Defy CM

Welcome to Dev.
1. This is Dev. Not Q&A. Not "herpy-derpy I don't know how to mount rfs" fun time. We're not here to help you with your stupid problems that you could have just googled.
2. ALL-CAPS IS NOT CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL. Even if it was, even cruise control needs a decent driver.
Now google, "How to mount RFS in (operating system, preferably linux), and see what you get.
Good? Good.
Now, lock or move.

Many times, no. It's not needed. For basic compilation, it's really not. Anyway, many people can just dump the files they need from the device itself.
