   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.

   8    impossible to dual-boot.}
