If so, what exactly is looking for the "boot record"? Is there a Bios in there? (I'd assume this would be the Linux from Netronix? With the software from Elonex put atop?)
Could it be the Elonex software prevents other firmware being used?

It is possible. The best way to figure it out is to attach a serial console and to try to get a shell and to have a look inside - kernel on Elonex is Linux for sure, but userspace stuff may anything they wrote.
If you do, please don't forget to document all your findings on OpenInkpot wiki - this will help a lot if anyone has the same problem later or wants to adapt OI firmware to run on Elonex.
