iPod first generation install?

2) Constant reboot reportedly due to incorrect diagnosis of low battery.

2) has now been "fixed" (the shutdown on low battery has been disabled for now). If you download and install a new "current build" of Rockbox, it should no longer reboot constantly (no need to reinstall the bootloader - just unzip the new rockbox.zip over the top of the old one, overwriting all existing files).
Regarding 1), it seems there are slightly different hardware revisions of the 1st gen, meaning that the default contrast is likely to be different.
If you create a text file in the .rockbox directory called "config.cfg" and put the single line "contrast: 40", that will change the contrast. Valid values are between 5 and 63. Once you (hopefully) get a value that means you can see the screen, you can fine-tune it in the settings menus in Rockbox itself.
If you can get it working, then please let us know what the default should be for your ipod, and also go into the "System -> Debug -> View HW Info and tell us what the hardware revision is - it should be either 0x00010000, 0x00010001 or 0x00010002

Wow, you guys respond swiftly... :-)
Here's the mbr. Hopefully: it's the result of
--- Code: ---G4:~ bidmead$ dd if=/dev/disk3s2 of=mbr_1G_bin.txt count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
--- End code ---
I've named it .txt as advised (although the attachment dialogue says bin is ok)
Will get onto the other stuff ASAP.

Excellent! I was getting a bit weary of sifting through builds to find a good one :-)

bidmead,
The dd instruction should be using the "whole disk" device (/dev/disk3) not the 2nd partition on the disk (/dev/disk3s2). The MBR is the very first sector on the disk.

Of course! I'm supposed to know this stuff. Will fix this with another upload.
Somewhat mixed news on the new current build (r16657, revised). RockBox now loads, and appears stable. The display is too pale, but readable. However, I can't get to Settings (or anywhere much ) because the scroll wheel doesn't work. There's a response from the four surrounding buttons and the centre button (the backlight switches on when any of these are pressed), but the scroll wheel isn't being read at all.
Any ideas?
