I've read in various places that the device supports booting from an SD card, but Squidge said in a post in the squashing-the-penguin thread that the "HH" mode he's working with involves modding the bootloader. Are the references to booting directly from SD cards just wrong?
If it's possible to boot from SD card out-of-the-box, i.e. plug an SD card into a virgin GP2X, turn it on, and the code from the card runs, then that sounds like a great way to play with the hardware at a low level without risking making the device unbootable if you get it wrong. Kind of like using a bootable CD in a PC to try out a new OS, so you don't need to risk making your hard disk not boot.
