How to enter flash mode

Power + Volume Down buttons or use adb reboot bootloader

Installation

Installation on sdcard

$ pmbootstrap init # Select motorola-montana device
$ pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/YOURSDCARD # Replace YOURSDCARD with sdcard's blockdevice (example: mmcblk0, don't forget to plug your sdcard in your PC before entering this command!)
$ pmbootstrap flasher boot # To boot kernel without flashing it

Installation on internal memory

This is untested, but kubast2 had success with Android Recovery Zip.
