1 The
\playername{} has a built-in bootloader which performs the
2 firmware update and can also access the hard drive via USB. The
3 Rockbox bootloader can therefore be very minimalistic, as it does not require
4 it's own USB mode. This makes it less dangerous to install the Rockbox bootloader
5 as you can always restore it using the
\playerman{} bootloader.
7 \note{The Rockbox bootloader overwrites the original firmware, making it
8 impossible to dual-boot.
