Dual Boot iPhone/iPod Touch
Further to me reading about the possibilty of allowing it to have more than one “bootable” partition, I have dual booted my iPod Touch.
Now I have 4 partitions on my Touch, the standard /dev/disk0s1 = 300Mb, /dev/disk0s2 = 26GB plus a “recovery” /dev/disk0s3 = 300Mb and a to be utilised /dev/disk0s4 = 4GB.
I am currently building my mips toolchain on a Gentoo VM so that I can start looking into a Linux install on the 4th partition.
I followed the information in this very well written up page on iphone-dev here.
Happy Tinkering!
Cheers,
Dan.
Update: I’m a numpty, it’s not a MIPS is it…. it’s ARM! Doh!
