	~~Booting code through the notes exploit has proven to be too uncomfortable in the long term, as you break the apple firmware that way, but still have its non~~-~~neglegible bootup times. The rockbox bootloader is faster, but still too slow. This~~ is ~~why iLoader has been developed. iLoader replaces~~ the ~~whole firmware~~ starting ~~from the second level bootloader, and thus gets booted up directly by the bootrom. It then shows a boot menu and allows you to boot different~~ firmware ~~images, which can be stored~~ on ~~the data partition to allow easy updates. The boot menu of iLoader is fully configurable.~~		{{outdated\|reason=[[U-Boot]] is the current approach for starting custom firmware on iPods.}}
