The Rockbox bootloader does not include a menu - which is why you can't see one.

It does however include a basic option to load ipodLinux, simply press and hold "Play" while your iPod is starting. Note that this is a less flexible option for loading iPL than using Loader2, since you cannot pass any kernel arguments this way.

as far as I know, you also need to have a file "kernel.bin" on the root of the FAT32 partition for the Rockbox bootloader to boot IPL. But it works fine ;-)

Damn -- maybe we finally should document that feature somewhere?
