I was aware of that (as there isn't much other option ;) ) but please don't call it "ipodfixer" if it's called "ipodpatcher". Future users might find and read that post and get confused about it, and that is nothing we'd like to get.

Yes, that's the problem: detecting the Ipod (and installing the bootloader) requires the original firmware to be installed. This is due to the fact that installing the bootloader makes changes to the firmware partition but does not replace its contents (you still can use the original firmware).
