I managed to dual boot android or linux on the kobo mini.

Basically you start the kobo mini in android or linux and if you want to switch, you have to execute a script. This script just copies 10MB of data to the first sectors of a 16 G sd card.
There is still a VFAT partition available but you have to mount it manually (explained in README)
I'm fully aware that this is not a very elegant solution.
Under the linux-2.6.35.3-dev-12.20 directory which can be found on the baidu website is an example for a menu driven boot/selection
