Well I'm not sure what patch you're looking at, but the bootloader is part of the rockbox source (see the /bootloader folder).

Hopefully you're looking at the recent patch proposed (but not accepted) for 3.2 that changes the bootloaders to boot rockbox on USB insert.

No, it never tries to load rockbox.  The current bootloader defaults to the OF on USB insert (you can see this yourself by plugging in a USB cable, you'll end up in the OF not Rockbox).

I was actually talking about the patch itself, it doesn't touch the bootloader folder. (6654 for patch in question)

Okay, that makes more sense.

That patch is:

1)  Many years older then USB support on the PP
2)  Already accepted in SVN

And yes, it does touch the bootloader!

Ok I'll do this for you.  The 3.2 bootloader task is "FS#9955 - Bootloaders for 3.2".  Just install the binary there.
