New Bootloader and Installation Procedures - please test and give feedback

@fasmaie, Pancho_DJ,
I'm not sure yet what the problem is. Someone just came to IRC with the same problem - on a Photo, and he said he hadn't updated the firmware recently either.
So the common factor so far seems to be old versions of the Apple firmware. I'm running v1.2 of the Apple firmware on my Photo, and it works fine. Most other testing (all successful) has been on Nanos and Videos.
Has anyone successfully used ipodpatcher and the latest bootloader with an older ipod running an older firmware?

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.

Exactly the same happens on my 4G iPod (used on Windows, though).
Sounds like a problem with iPodPatcher's append function (for the older iPods) to me.

Would someone experiencing problems be able to run the following commands (on a clean firmware partition - one in the factory condition) and send me the output (a PM is fine).
ipodpatcher [device] -v --list
ipodpatcher [device] -v -a bootloader-ipodXXXX.ipod
ipodpatcher [device] -v --list
Thanks.
