With the new iPod bootloader you (re)boot and immediately toggle the "Hold" switch to the on position to boot AppleOS.
With the old iPod bootloader you (re)boot and immediately press and hold the "Menu" button to boot AppleOS.

Rockbox, official or not, is 100% non-lethal if you screw up.

Not to nitpick, but "Menu"+"Select" is not a shutdown command, it is a reset command. While it is true that you must perform a hard reset to get out of AppleOS (unless you are willing to wait two days for AppleOS to go from "Sleep" to "Power Off") propagating the misconception that it is a shutdown leads many to falsely believe they have cleanly shut down their player when, in fact, they have done the equivalent of pulling the power plug on their computer. Rockbox will not save state when you reset it so abruptly.
