I've done some "tweaking":

Tired of bricking your N900? Don't want to lose your changes in the root-fs? Here's my solution: RescueMenu

Download it from

apt-get install bootmenu-n900

and place RescueMenu.item at /etc/bootmenu.d/RescueMenu.item. This file breaks all functionality of bootmenu.sh but it's broken anyway (IMHO).

Next time you reboot your device with open keyboard you get all this features

Just place this file into /etc/bluetooth/serial.conf:

[Proxy DUN]
UUID=00001103-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB
Address=localhost:22

as root run on your N900:

stop bluetoothd
start bluetoothd

On your client run:

rfcomm bind /dev/rfcomm0 <MyPhonesBTAddressHere>

And use ser2net to attach the device to a listening socket again...

What this is good for?
