I have now done this:
- Download + install of BOSS and Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library 2008.
- Ran BOSS-F.bat and let it rearrange my mods.
- Opened FOMM and rearranged the "unknown" mods, dunno if I've set 'em up perfectly though, since pretty much two thirds of my mods were "unknown" to BOSS
- Ran FO3MasterRestore, deactivated+deleted my Merged Patch. Ran FO3Edit, made a new merged patch and ran FO3MasterUpdate.
- Launched, tried the exact same thing; loading an older save when I'm inside Megaton, cleaning up raiders at Springvale and then going back to Megaton.
When I get about 200 metres from Megaton, I try a save and then the game crashes.
