New Bootloader and Installation Procedures - please test and give feedback

Kudos -- works great on 1g nano. Instructions are very clear. Thanks for the "boot with hold switch on for original firmware" addition to the bootloader.

RB loads great. Original firmware doesn't. I installed it and when i load the orignal firmware a folder with a "!" hazard box appears telling me to go to the ipod support forums on apple. Any ideas?
edit: I was using the old 1.1 ipod firmware i think. Will that have any significance?

It does not seem to work on my iPod 4G greyscale.
I went through the installation instructions from the new procedure. Used the latest (19/12/2006) build. After installation of the bootloader, RockBox boots fine, but I cannot boot into the Apple firmware at all.
When the hold button is on, I get the "booting into original firmware" message, then the process halts and the system reboots. This cycles if the hold button is kept on, and boots into RockBox if the hold button is off (not surprisingly).
It seems like the original firmware is not accessible to the bootloader, and when it is not found, it just reboots.
Just in case this is needed: I have a 20 GB, 4th Gen greyscale iPod. I use it on a mac, but it is Windows formatted.

Is that the whole error message? Does ipodpatcher display anything else?
Also, did the "ipodpatcher --scan" option find your ipod?
Also, do you have Administrator privileges?
