thoai, why do you think the boot order is so important?

With loader2, instead of booting right to firmware, a boot menu opens with the following options:

Apple OS
Rockbox
Disk Mode
Sleep
You have to select before entering.
 
But maybe, if you put the countdown time to 0s, they boots Apple OS skipping the menu, I don't know...
But if works this way, you cannot have time to access the others options, hahaha! So, try putting 1s countdown.

thoai:
ok but do we note a failure of the ipod due to an installation of rockbox?

The order was important because I often use video and rockbox don't manage to play video, and only sometimes i need zoom on my photo and apple firmware don't have zoom.

scorche:
There is a bootloader under the Unofficial Builds forum by Mikeage that will do what you want.  However, I do not know if it is the newest bootloader or not.  Ask him.

I think for you it would be better to use the common version of rockbox.

I say this only becuase from your questions and comments you seem to be kind of newbish to this type of hobby or whatever you want to call this activity of hacking.

That being said and not ment to be an insult, I think you should keep it basic.  The basic install and builds are stable and almost 99% non lethal if you screw up.  Any an all documentation will refer to these builds and setups.  Once you are more familiar than you can try other stuff

Vliger2002 I Just remembered and checked and the answer is yes you can boot apples FW without a alternate bootloader.

Once you install rockbox.

Start your iPod by holding down Menu until you see "Loading Original Firmware"

That means apples fw is loading and not rockbox.

Once the iPod starts use the apple firmware as you wish.

When shutting down just hold down the Play/Puase button until sceen powers down.  This is realy the iPod in stand-by mode.

When you next want to use the iPod hold down any button and you will wake the iPod for stand-by back into apple FW.

You will only boot Rockbox after a full shut down (Hold Menu and Select for a few seconds)

Once a full shut down is done then you will boot Rockbox by default once more.

To revert back to defualt apple hold menu at boot until "Loading Original Firmware" appears.

That's the old method of booting the original firmware - with the new bootloader you need to flick the hold switch to "on" as soon as you power on the iPod. This will cause it to load apple's firmware.
