if in anybodys interrest, i found something:

\"updater.sh seems to be a shell script encoded to a odd format...\"

if you want to get your hands dirty, heres an en/decoder:

Link is broken ... where else can one get that ?
I'd still like to know how is the unpadet.sh script searched for during the install process ?

It looks like the autoboot.sh is loaded by the system initialization script from the emergency system boot (pdaxrom 1.1 beta4).
So that's how that's loaded.

I wonder if when you go into the japanese flash menu (or D+C) updater.sh is looked for in some similar fashon ?

When you install with the japanese flash menu is kernel gotten from onboard flas or CF/SD ?

Do the other questions I asked make any sence or am I way off ?

  I wonder if when you go into the japanese flash menu (or D+C) updater.sh is looked for in some similar fashon ?

  When you install with the japanese flash menu is kernel gotten from onboard flas or CF/SD ?

  how is the initrd.img created, it's not: jffsx, ext2/3 msdos nor is it a gziped image.
  I'm unable to mount it ither on pc or on my zaurus.
