Ok, I installed Bootmii as a boot2. It doesn't come up when I turn my wii on. Is it because of my SD card being too big? I'm using a Kodak 4 gb SDHC. Just a little curious.

Yes, it is an SDHC (4gb) It wrote the files onto the card, but I think it might be the fact of it being SDHC is the reason it is failing.

I am using a 4Gb and have no problem with. What SM are you running? Do you have a bootmii dir on your card? Inside this dir should have three files: ppcboot.elf, bootmii.ini and armboot.bin. Do you have them?

If you do not have this dir or these files then it did not install.

I can run Bootmii from HBC no problem. Just not when it boots up.

Bootmii only starts when wii is powered off only if was installed as a boot2? Did you have all options green when you run bootmii installer? Wht s\n is your wii LU... just the first two numbers.

Then its probably because its SDHC

Usually will not even install if it is a problem with SD card but I know bootmii is picky. Never know. Copy all SD files and reformat your sd card then copy them back, may help.

Not quite. Many SDHC cards are compatible. Just check the compatibility list.
