Hi, im new here so please bare with me..

I have rockbox installed on my Ipod Video 30G and IpodLinux. I was looking through rockbox videos on youtube and noticed that someone had a bootloader on their ipod that let him decide what OS he wanted to use. i was wondering how to put this on my ipod??? also is this possible considering that i allready have rockbox and ipodlinux on my ipod?

 ??? ??? ???

Cheers, Tom W

GodEater:
That would be iPodLinux's bootloader, which we don't support here.

However, the rockbox bootloader ALSO supports this - it just doesn't show you a menu (which we feel is a waste of time).

Holding ">||" on boot will boot iPL.

Having the hold switch turned on when you boot will boot Apple OS.

Doing nothing will boot Rockbox.

... if you have the kernel file as "linux.bin" in the root folder of the FAT partition (i.e. the partition Rockbox uses)
