-In order to make your \playertype{} load and execute the Rockbox
-firmware you have just installed, you will need to install the
-Rockbox bootloader. Unless bugs are found in the bootloader code, or
-significant new features are added, you will only have to perform this
-step once.
+In order to install the bootloader, you will need to download the following
+files:
-These steps use the mkamsboot tool. Source code is available in the
-Rockbox SVN repository
-(\url{http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi/trunk/rbutil/mkamsboot/}).

\subsection{Bootloader installation from Windows}
\begin{enumerate}
-% Will add when I have required install instructions %
+\item Create a folder called ``rbinstall'' on your desktop, and then extract
+ the OF, the bootloader and mkamsboot into it.
-\end{enumerate}
+\item Open a new command prompt, and navigate to the ``rbinstall'' folder.
-\subsection{Bootloader installation from Mac OS X}
+\item Run mkamsboot.exe, passing the name of the OF and bootloader files that
+ you downloaded, in addition to a name for the output file.
-\begin{enumerate}
+ \begin{code}
+ \opt{fuze}{mkamsboot.exe fuzea.bin bootloader-fuze.bin patched.bin}
+ \opt{e200v2}{mkamsboot.exe e200pe.bin bootloader-e200v2.bin patched.bin}
+ \end{code}
+
+ If mkamsboot.exe does not report success, then retry or abort.
-% Same as above %
+\item Copy the output file (``patched.bin'' in the example given above) to the
+ root of the device and rename it to the same name as the OF file you downloaded earlier
+ \opt{fuze}{(``fuzea.bin''} \opt{e200v2}{(``e200pe.bin''} above).
+\item Safely eject the device, unplug USB and wait for the firmware update to finish.
