Dual Boot ipodpatcher
« on: September 16, 2008, 01:02:31 PM »
Hello, I recently installed Rockbox on my 30GB iPod 5G, from a linux platform, and I was reading in your manuals about the Rockbox Bootloader.  I saw that it mentioned a "dual boot" option, but I saw nowhere in your instructions how this could be accomplished.  I did the manual installation by the way so I didn't use the Rockbox Utility to install the firmware.  I was just wondering where the bootloader configuration file was located so that I may possibly modify it to boot into ipl or Apple OS on command.  Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Right here in the manual:

Oh okay. I must have missed that. Thanks. Also, is there a bootloader menu I can access?  I once had an ipodpatcher file on my iPod that had a menu where I can access multiple firmwares.  I could manipulate the menu items by changing the configuration file.  Since ipodlinux.org has been down, and my life got more complex, I have since lost all of my previous iPL and Rockbox and Doom.wad files etc. so I haven't been able to find the bootloader that I had before. Do you think you can help me there?

That is the ipodlinux bootloader, which is not supported here.

Please be aware that were you to use this, you would no longer be able to get support about any part of Rockbox here until you reinstalled and tried with the Rockbox bootloader.
