This is exactly what you want.

I think that this is a problem with specific versions of OS X. I don't get
it on the latest version of Leopard, but I do remember having it in the
past. It may also be related to the version of the BL_SD_BoardSupported.rom
file that you use.

Yes, exactly. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how you can manage this other than
trying different combinations of OS X version and BL_SD_BoardSupported.rom.

If (when?) USB supported is added to the Rockbox bootloader, you would be
able to use that instead of the BL_SD_BoardSupported.rom file.
Unfortunately, currently the USB support in Rockbox suffers from the same
symptoms on OS X.

So, your best bet would be to try again on a different (preferably Linux)
system. I think even a linux boot CD would do the job.
