Ok, tried this and it works fine. The first cylinder (~8MB) is enough for
both the main firmware or the linux kernel and the second flash-update
image. I've made hda4 from the 2nd to the 5th cylinder on the HDD,
and formatted it using ext3. This setup seems to work fine with both the
apple firmware and linux. So I can now boot to userspace!

I've checked, the keyboard and the wheel work fine, contrast setting too.
Playing an mp3 with the uClinux mp3play didn't produce any sound, but
neither error messages... Do I have to unmute the mixer first?

Now I'll have to fix firewire, because it's nice to be able to type
llrlrlrlrlrrr on the wheel, but not much useful for debugging :)

Are all these 0xcf00xxxx addresses and their functions documented
somewhere? Or are they some little known black magic from the original
firmware? The main difference between the g1 and g3 ipods seems to be
somewhere around these GPIO pins...

Thanks
