No, the installation relies on the boot loader already present on the
Openmoko.

Note that it would be very difficult that install.sh (or in future the
debian-installer) will ever install a boot loader, since given the
nature of the device (like any other embedded device) this operation can
be very risky.  Instead, we should find a way to detect which kind of
boot loader is installed and then act accordingly.

What does this mean?  Please elaborate.

Thx, bye,
