Is anybody else having issues with GApps not finding media on your SD card?

After you have installed ics and put the gapps zip on the boot partition, boot and hold the "n" button until the boot menu comes up. Then select "SD" and "recovery" and tell it to finish booting. It will boot into the penguin recovery and install gapps.If I install ICS onto the SD card successfully, I can't get into the CWM recovery to flash a zip file with the gapps. Is that making sense?
Am I missing something?
The recovery on the boot SD will just do things to emmc where you have CM7. Don't use it unless you want to change emmc.I have 2 questions, First is I have CM7 installed on my emmc and CM9 booting on an SD card using verygreens install method. So how do I wipe the cache and davlik without disrupting the CM7. I have a boot SD that was for the CM7 install that does the recovery menu but that seems to affect the CM7?
2nd. Also if I format and wipe the SD and start over is there anything that needs to be done?
Thanks,

Reflashing the verygreen SD image installer will be enough to reset everything. By doing that everything on the SD is erased and you can start over. I recommend you use the new installer referenced in the first post of this thread. It has been updated to work better with CM9.
You can't if you installed to SD. See my post on the other thread here:I used that installer in the first post. So how do you flash the zip files in the first post and ones like the wifi fix to CM9?

Edit: Maybe an even more straightforward way is after booting into ics, press and hold the power button, choose reboot followed by recovery.
For builds prior to 1/24 (which appears to be broken), the extended power menu comes up with a long press of the power button, only when you're in phone mode. You can get phone mode by increasing the lcd density as described in post 355 of the ICS/CM9 Discussion thread in the General Section. Note, you'll lose the back and menu buttons.Thanks for the tips. I've tried the press and hold the power button but I did not get an option to boot into recovery like I do on CM7. It just powered off.
For the hold the "n" button, is that done inside ICS or done while the nook is booting?
Thanks.

So out of curiosity, nightlies prior to the 24th are (mostly) working?

Nightlies since Sam started from scratch (5-6) days ago are fine, just the extended power menu doesn't work on tablet ui....As far as I know. Last nights is fine for me.

That must be it then. I was using a nightly from the 24th.
One more thing, is the process still the same if I'm running this from an SD card?
Thanks!
I used to hold Power and "n" at the same time and CWR would start. With ICS that went away at least for me but, I just tried this method and I get into the Boot Menu which I didn't expect at which point I scrolled down to the second option and selected recovery then "Boot Now".

Man, I don't know why there keep being so many issues with the builds not working right. I'm going to do a clean build from scratch.
Want to build ICS from raw source code yourself?
It may be a good learning activity, and will certainly make you more self-sufficient. Hundreds have built ICS for Nookcolor successfully, and understanding the process will make you an Android ninja-- PLUS you can try features and bug fixes as-yet-unaccepted-into-the-mainstream build.

I'm sorry, but the poster who comes into a ROM build post for the Nook Color in the Nook Color development section of XDA and says they have dumped it for a Fire because the Fire is faster (duh it has a dual core processor and was released a year later than the Color), is the troll.
