I've tried several times again.
After removing the battery for several minutes the device
automatically boots when the battery is replaced. By the time I've
turned the device around after replacing the back cover the openmoko
logo is already displayed. (The device was not connected to any
computer.)
So I've shut the device down again by pressing the power button for
several seconds.
Without removing the battery but waiting some 30 seconds:
1) press and hold AUX
2) press and hold power
after about 4 seconds the AUX button lights up, about 2 seconds later
the openmoko logo is displayed and after that the device boots
I released both buttons as soon as the openmoko logo was displayed.
Again power down the device
1) press and hold power
2) press (and hold) AUX approx 2 seconds after pressing power before
the openmoko logo is displayed
again the device boots without displaying any kind of boot menu
Is it possible to reconfigure the wait time of the boot menu via the
device? I can't find anything in the settings menu or any terminal
application that would allow me to execute commands.

Maybe someone else will have a brighter idea, but all I can suggest at
this point is unplug, remove battery, then hold down AUX while
inserting battery. If that doesn't work, but it just boots right up
instead, then try to confirm that the AUX button is functional, as I'm
starting to suspect a bum button. If that's the case I've no idea what
solution is feasible.

Any idea how to test the AUX button? During one of my tests keeping
the AUX button pressed longer than usual the screen was displayed
rotated 90 degrees. So at least it had some effect.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to find much documentation of the
applications installed so I can't tell if any of them should react to
the AUX button being pressed.
I'll try keeping the AUX button pressed while inserting the battery later.

Bram
