You got the right idea. The developer package merely add some entry in "registry.xml" for ContentLister (the UI program) to execute shell script. ContentLister won't execute any shell script unless it's specified in "registry.xml".

In the next step I would access the "registry.xml" on the CF-Card and make the appropriate changes (which are?), changes that would normally be effected by downloading the developer's package to your Iliad. The last step is to boot the Iliad from the CF-Card. How do I force the Iliad to boot from the CF-Card and not from the internal storage?
I think that you got the idea wrong. It's about re-flashing firmware. You should read the manual and search through the forum before doing. It's risky.
