Did you got "something like a grub" boot?

Not really. My multi-boot software first checks to see if it can boot Linux from an SD card. If not it then checks to see if it should boot Android from NAND based on a toggleable flag, otherwise it will boot Linux from NAND if it is installed or default to booting Android. Maybe this picture will clarify:

(1) Boot -----> (2) Linux SD card?
|
---------------> (3) Boot Android flag?
|
-------------------> (4) Linux NAND?
|
-----------------> (5) Android NAND


Included is installation software providing the ability to install a Linux root file system from SD card to NAND (to allow 4) and boot configuration software prioritizing between Android and Linux (to provide 3).

I've also provided removal software to uninstalled Linux from NAND.

Hi
I'd like to know the version of linux used in Multiboot.
Thanks for the answer.

I have tried to flash this twice to my Jesurun K8, which seems to be equivalent to a mk802iv with new wifi, but no boot at all, not even to Android.
