I'd like to. I'd like to be able to boot as many OSes as possible in ControlX, because it's great and because it lowers the possibilities of bricking.
And also because I'd like to tinker again with the official theme editor which was coming with one of the 3.0.0 OSes.
Unfortunately, nBoot apparently doesn't work with the CX Boot1 3.0.0.0 present on CX/Color EVT/DVT prototypes :

I don't get the "Unlocked" string in the Firebird boot log, and the screen won't turn on.

Now for production calculators.
I think OS signed with the development keys (we've got some of them in versions 3.0, 3.2 and 3.6) can be installed by flashing and launching the CX Boot2 3.0.0.0 including the development keys :
archives_voir.php?id=10101
But you won't be able to boot them properly. Like every OS version older than 4.0.1, they need to be patched to prevent them from crashing in the nBoot context.
And the only Boot2 which is currently able to patch OSes before launching them is Boot2 4.0.3, which is including the production keys, and thus is going to erase such OSes.
