Trying to boot optimus from SD card

[Joeseph Mother]

Couple days worth of research hasn't gotten me very far, maybe posting some nice direct questions will help. I edited the init.rc in my ramdisk, made sure that it's mounting what I want it to on boot, used gparted to set sd card partition 1 as fat32, 2 as ext2, and 3 as ext3. Changed init.rc from:
mount yaffs2 mtd@system /system
mount yaffs2 mtd@system /system ro remount
to:
mount ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system
and
mount yaffs2 mtd@userdata /data nosuid nodev
to:
mount ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /data noatime norelatime

Copied the /system files to the /system directory on partition 2 in linux, data should rebuild itself, I don't care about losing what I had, put the sd card into the phone, goes through the initial t-mobile animation and sits. It stopped in the same spot when I tried to symlink /data to /sd-ext as well, does LG have something protecting the locations that I'm missing?

fota.rc also tries to mount everything as yaffs2, but changing them to match init.rc doesn't help. Something in vold maybe?

what kernel are you using. the kernel needs ext2 and ext3 support.

Using drellisdees oc'd kernel, has ext 2/3/4, but even the stock has ext 2&3 support, on the optimus T anyway, I'm trying it for that but nobody ever reads that forum. Is there a service responsible for accessing the sd that doesn't get ran until after init.rc maybe? Just thinking aloud until tonight when I try again. I know you wanted to run yours from the sd card, did you have any luck?

Changing them in fota.rc does nothing, system boots fine, mounts them at the normal location.
