[Q] External to Internal - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

Hello all,
I picked up a NT with the sdcard method pre set up on it. I have since converted it to CM Internal and CWM internal as I do not care for the B&N firmware at all and i wanted better performance. My gripe is that CyanoBoot boots to the SDcard by defailt and not only that but to a cm7 nightly partition. I want to simply replace the bootloader instead of running an "altboot." Does any one know if their is a good reliable bootloader for the NT? Perhaps a CyanoBoot or Unlocked stock bootloader? I want my SDcard to simply be an SDcard and the NT to be internal CM like any other tablet. I at the very least want to remove the cm 7 and cm 9 options from the boot options and erase them from the SDcard as I am running cm10.2 internal and they are just a waist of space on my SDcard. Thank you.
P.S.
Oh I am also having a bootloop where my NT stock boots to internal CWM. My work around thus far after reflashing a few different CWM recovery's is to insert USB power turn the NT on then remove USB power when I see the large "N", then hold the "n" button and manually select internal mmc. The boot loop started when I used the 1 click recovery install method offered by the latest version of [ROOT] Rashr - Flash Tool by DsLNeXuS. I did flash Irrecovery2.img and that solved the problem but removed my recovery all together and I was still booting to the SDcard... So i am currently using CWM 2.0.2.8 and using my USB Power work around.
Thanks again I hope you guys have some Ideas.

I think your bootable SD card is messing things up.
Maybe you should make over your MicroSD card.
Below is what I did to get my 8gb Nook Tablet running Jelly Bean and later Kitkat on the internal memory.
I first made a bootable MicroSD card using the following method:
Part 1:
On My computer I:
1. Formatted my Sandisk Class 4, 8gb micro SD card using SDFormatter
2. Downloaded: "cm-10-20121231-NOOKTABLET-acclaim-HD-SDC-img."
3. Used win32diskimager-v0.7 to write the above img file to the MicroSD card in my MicroSd/USB adapter
4. Used Mini Partition tool to expand the SDCARD partition on the MicroSD card to incorporate all the unallocated space on the MicroSD card.
This gives you a nice set up of CM 10 that runs off the MicroSD card, and gives the card room to hold lots of apps. However, to take the next step and install the system into internal memory, read on.
Part 2: Installing system internally
1. I downloaded "cm-10-20121231-NOOKTABLET-acclaim-HD.zip" (note this is not the same as the one above)and "gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip" to my computer, put my Bootable MicroSD into my USB card reader and copied the above two zip files onto the MicroSD card. (only the "BOOT" partition showed up on my computer)
2. I plugged the Nook USB cable into the wall and into the powered off Nook and waited for it to turn itself on. (Powering on a Nook this way seems to tell the Nook to go to the MicroSD card first to find boot instructions) When the Cyanoboot bootloader appeared, I pushed the N button . That opened up the bootloader menu.
3. I selected "SDC Recovery" which took me to Clockwork mod recovery 6.0.2.7 on the MicroSD card.
4. To navigate around the Cyanoboot bootloader menu and Clockwork mod recovery menu, I used the volume buttons to move up or down, and N to select items and the power button to go back.
5. I first navigated to "Wipe data/factory reset" on the Clockwork mod recovery menu, and pushed N. When that operation was completed, I went back and selected "install zip from sdcard" and installed the "cm-10-20121231-NOOKTABLET-acclaim-HD.zip" file.
6. I then went back and selected "install zip from sdcard" again and this time installed the "gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip" file.
7. I removed the MicroSD card from the Nook, went back and selected "reboot system now" and the tablet booted the Cyanoboot bootloader and then directly booted CyanogenMod 10 and Android Jelly Bean internally.
In this setup, the Cyanoboot bootloader and Clockwork mod 6.0.2.7 are installed internally, so at any power on, I can push the N button and get into the Cyanoboot bootloader menu and choose internal recovery to get to Clockwork mod 6.0.2.7. Once I'm in Clockwork mod 6.0.2.7, I can do backups or install more zip files to update.
Hope something in this helps
