This is Rockbox.
Podzilla is IpodLinux.

Rockbox allows you to load Rockbox or the original firmware.  If you need support regarding ipodlinux, you need to check the ipodlinux site.

Rockbox doesn't have the ability to launch other firmwares. The bootloader can load iPodLinux or the original OS, but that's about as far as any "ability to launch firmware" goes.

Please don't ask about gameboy roms here. Use Google or something.

I seem to remember about someone using the Rockbox BL to have a tri-boot system.  IIRC, play/pause was used to boot iPl and menu was used to boot apple OS (as it usually does).  I don't remember many other details, but if i remember them in the morning (when I am sober), I will report on it.

The Rockbox bootloader does support booting iPodLinux yes. As I said in my post. :-P

Ah, sorry...  Your wording finally got the better of me. And, as I said, drinking doesnt help either.

What I think the OP is asking for is RoLo. Basically it allows you to boot a firmware off a file on your hard drive.

At the moment, as far as I know, the iPod can only boot another instance of rockbox.ipod and not any other firmwares (eg. IPL or Apple).

Here's a thread about it from a couple of weeks back:
