Hi, welcome to this forum! If you have an NVMe drive installed, you can move your installation to it using either the reform-migrate or the reform-setup-encrypted-nvme scripts, depending on whether you want your SSD unencrypted or encrypted, respectively.

I want to 128 eMMC flash memory and NVMe SSD slot 1TB. One using 128 MB Debian MNT and the other 1TB Arch Linux. Have a dual booting?

Ah I see. That will be an interesting project. The main issue you might find yourself in is, that u-boot on the pocket reform does not yet understand how to turn on the display. Without display support, selecting one distro over the other will be kinda tricky. You’d have to navigate the boot menu blindly. Not an impossibility but also not super easy.

I think the easiest way to do what you want is to have the first partition on eMMC contain a file /extlinux/extlinux.conf with the correct entries for Debian and Arch. With the correct content, that will let you select between those two distros.
