Yes! If sdcard is present root is /dev/mmcblk1p1 (first partition on external sdcard) instead of /dev/mmcblk0p2 (second partition on internal sdcard - the recovery partition).

sorry but no ready-to-go binary distros for armhf. slackwarearm should work but is soft-float so you'll loss the ability to run other software made for kobo. Here is a link to the mini-rootfs

I would suggest to install debian instead. You can install it via debootstrap/multistrap, there are a lot of guides online for that task.
I think I can legally share a binary copy of debian armhf distro targeted for kobos, but sadly I can't distribute the kernel, kernel modules and fw present on kobo devices, which are needed to do something useful with the device.
