Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
As i said: keep in mind to keep the modified bootloader file in your rockbox directory.If you delete it you are no longer able to boot rockbox.
Well, I've noticed that the boot screen shows "loading rockbox.iriver".
Previously I would have also said that the 7pre4 booloader is stored in flash. But right now I think it might also be possible that the "flashing procedure" just puts a "link" into the ROM to load the rockbox.iriver file from hdd.
To test my hypothesis I just put the hdd from my backup iriver into the 7pre4 flashed on, e voilá: when trying to boot it says "file not found" where it say "loading rockbox.iriver" whith the other hdd.
So, for the 7pre4 bootloader, it's apparently not completely stored in flash. But it also might have to do with the way I "installed" it. So far I only used the Rockbox Utility for upgrading the booloader. With the 7pre4 I just followed the instructions, which means flashing using the rockbox menu of the player after loading the file to the .rockbox folder.
