Why not output it to a thumb drive? Simply navigate to your thumb drive via the command line (for example, "cd /media/<disk name here>" if you're using Ubuntu), then run the dd command from there. Then you can upload it to the wiki afterwards.

Won't his iPod effectively *be* a thumb drive at that point ?

LambdaCalculus:
That's true. Just a friendly suggestion. ;)

I've attached the MBR files for 10GB and 20GB 2nd Gen to the wiki page. Maybe it's a good idea to move them to download.rockbox.org like the others.

@Jens:

Do you happen to know the naming convention used with the windows variant of dd?

I tried
--- Code: ---dd if=\\.\k: of=ipod_mbr.bin count=1 bs=512
--- End code ---

where K: is the ipod (2nd Gen 20G), but the output file does not match the file you posted on the wiki.
