I cannot remember what flavour of flash device(s) it has. As it's an 1100
derived
design, I'm guessing that it has a boot ROM and then an in-flash copy of
WinCE and
its applications. That being so, you could remove the ROM, program it and
have another
boot path.
I don't believe that anyone has ported Linux to the Jornada - although there
is/was a
port to the SA-1100 (ITSY).

True. I think (and it is only think) that the Wince boot loader merely
swaps to the
image in flash (big flash as opposed to small flash or ROM). The system may
do
this via address line swapping rather than the in ROM boot loader...
