You can make your own fiasco image (kernel & rootfs) with 0xFFFF.

Unpack fiasco image to current directory:
Code:
$ 0xFFFF -M image.fiasco -u
Generate new fiasco image from files xloader.bin, nolo.bin, zImage, rootfs and append device&version information (xloader for RX-51 hw revision: 2101 and 2102, version 1.0)
Code:
$ 0xFFFF -m RX-51:2101,2102:1.0:xloader:xloader.bin -m RX-51:2101,2102:1.0:secondary:nolo.bin -m 2.6.28:kernel:zImage -m rootfs -g image.fiasco
Or you could use rescue os to backup (dd) the rootfs of your N900.
This could be also flashed back.

About emmc (/dev/mmcblk0) I don't know if it's working, you could try this:

As far as I Know it is yet not possible to flash the emmc with 0xFFFF.
