I was wondering if anybody knows of a way to get Linux on a 620LX. I've asked at JLime and they haven't got a bootloader, any help?

It may be possible, but its not going to be easy, so JLime will leave it till after we have the 680/690/7*0 branches working to a good degree. This could be a while, but the main bug holding us back has apparantly been fixed (the wifi bug), so you never know.

Wince 2.0 (and earlier) lack a function that hands over kernel control (setKmode). So although its quite possible to write a bootloader for 1.0->2.0 its abit harder

The best bet is to look at netbsd's bootloader and see how they hack and slash to get kernel control.
