Using the "File Explorer", you should have to go "up" one level to get to
this directory on the iPAQ. At that time, you should see both the OSloader

Note: without a serial cable (or cradle), you're not going to get much
farther along at this time. AFAIK neither RedBoot nor the Compaq bootloader
works with USB.
