I have been working on a "Pinephone Multiboot Platform" guide for the wiki, to consolidate in one place some of what I learned working through this myself. The intended audience is new Pinephone owners with some prior linux experience; just beyond the noob level. The goal is to explain the power and flexibility of p-boot with btrfs, walk through the process of downloading and installing the Multiboot Demo Image to sdcard, and go over some basic btrfs commands to examine and manipulate os installations. That's as far as I have gotten at the moment. It's is still a work in progress, so I haven't posted it to the wiki. You can see the current draft on my user page: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/User:Woo2.
If you find it useful and think its worth continuing please say so. For now I have to move on to other things, but if feedback makes it seem worthwhile I'll try to find time to add sections on setting up a partition table and filesystem from scratch, adding OSes, and performing p-boot flash and unconf/conf operations.
