Installing the bootloader is the trickiest part of the installation.
As explained above, we cannot distribute the bootloader directly, and
thus need to patch a compatible version of the Iriver firmware, which
can be downloaded as described above.
\begin{enumerate}
\item Download the firmware patcher \fname{fwpatcher.exe} from
\download{bootloader/iriver/} and save it to your desktop.
\note{The firmware patcher contains Unicode support, which is not supported by
all versions of Windows. If you have difficulty with the firmware patcher, try
downloading the alternate firmware patcher \fname{fwpatchernu.exe}, which is
built without Unicode support.}
%
\item Go to your desktop and double-click on the firmware patcher.
%
\item In the firmware patcher dialog box, click on the \setting{Browse}
button and navigate
to the \fname{.hex} file that you previously downloaded.
%
\item Click \setting{Patch}. The firmware patcher will patch the
original firmware to include the Rockbox bootloader. The \fname{.hex}
file on your desktop is now a modified version of the original
\fname{.hex} file.
%
\item Copy \fname{.hex} to the root folder (the highest level) of your \dap{}
\end{enumerate}
