Dear all,


I'm trying to install rockbox on a ipod mini 1st generation. I have
both tried automatic and manual installation, and they seem to work,
but in both cases I receive the following error message when rebooting
the ipod:

	Can't find rockbox.ipod

I read from the instructions that a likely cause is that the
bootloader cannot find the firmware. I have installed the firmware to
the root of the player's drive (i.e. the /mnt/usb in my case), so I
don't get why the bootloader won't find the firmware. Any ideas would
be greatly appreciated.

ipodpatcher shows the following information

[INFO] Scanning disk devices...
[INFO] Ipod found - 1st Generation Mini ("winpod") - /dev/sdb
[INFO] Reading partition table from /dev/sdb
[INFO] Sector size is 512 bytes
[INFO] Part    Start Sector    End Sector   Size (MB)   Type
[INFO]    0              63         80324        39.2   Empty (0x00)

[INFO] Ipod model: 1st Generation Mini ("winpod")


The only odd thing to me is the mounting part -- I have not explicitly
mounted the device, and cannot unmount it (umount /mnt/usb --> no such
device mounted). 


Thanks a lot!



	Stephan
