apple OS issue with 4g mini

[fretmelter]

i am putting rockbox on a friends ipod nano 2g 4gb. everything went fine but when i boot into original os it says loading originalfirmware then reboots and does this over and over again.
I dont know what to do and i dont feel like manually putting all the music on the ipod.

also there is some of my font that shows up as like little boxes

And why would you put rockbox on a 2G nano when you know that Rockbox doesn't work on it ? Or did you mean a Mini like your post title states ?

fretmelter, if you are referring to a mini then you should have used the old installation instructions which you can get to at the bottom of the IpodPort wiki page.  There is currently a notice at the top of the IpodInstallationBeta wiki page that says that the 4g (greyscale) and both generations of minis have problems booting the Apple firmware after following those directions.
