Since this page deals with modifying the initfs, the method
to undo
this should also be mentioned...
(Thanks to <s-ndh-c> on #maemo to help me out with
this)
1) Unpack the flasher image
./flasher-3.0 -F blah.bin --unpack
2) Flash with the initfs image
./flasher-3.0 --initfs initfs.jffs -f -R
3) Reboot

This will bring your N800 to the original initfs image.

Yes, this is the most safe choice. Alternatively you can
flash the 
backup jffs2 image created by the bootmenu initfs flasher
before it 
modifies the initfs. And you can use the initfs_flash script
to flash it 
directly from the device.
