Make rockbox secondary firmware?

While I'm reading source code maybe I'll take a look at the bootloader source.
I'm guessing I just need to look for where the hold switch is sampled and then invert things. Might also be nice to post a message on the screen to let the user know to "throw hold switch now to boot rockbox". Probably won't get to this until the weekend,
and I'm waiting for another CF card to upgrade my other mini anyway.
BTW, in the case of needing the alternate boot for use with the dock, how about if the bootloader only defaulted to Apple if the dock was sensed? (If that's possible).

Hey, Just wondering if you tried anything with the bootloader source and if you had any success with swapping the boot order?

Sorry guys, i didn't know the IPL loader would work without IPodlinux on it, but i tried anyways and everything works like a charm. Here's how you can manual install it, its not hard to do http://ipodlinux.org/Loader_2#Manual_installation (sorry if its forbidden to post links to ipl, if so please edit my post and i will pm it to elnero)
And I'll attach my config file so you dont have to make it anymore, you just have to put it in the root of your ipod
GodEater:
It's not forbidden - but we DO have a post specifically FOR users of iPL's loader - so this isn't in the right place.
You should post it here : http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=9658.0
