My FW is different at the moment so I cannot tell you for sure as what regarding 08p.
the quickest way to check it is to cretae startup.txt(with *nix compatible encoding - use Notepad++) in the root of your SD card with the following text inside
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Written by yan0, 2006/9/9
if [ -f /mmc/mmca1/myfont.ttf ]
then
cp /mmc/mmca1/myfont.ttf /tmp/myfont.ttf
mount --bind /ram/tmp/myfont.ttf /usr/language/fonts/AMCSL.TTF
fi
and place true type font file (naming it accordingly as in the startup script ) myfont.ttf in the root of your SD as well.
If this font is applied as your sytem font once handset is rebooted that means your FW supports startup.
Hope that helps.
