Hello
This looks like what I needed, so I followed the following instructions:
http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-sansac200/rockbox-buildch2.html#x4-60002

As root, installation went perfectly.

The above linked instructions contained this, as well:

2.4.  Running Rockbox

Remove your player from the computer’s USB port. Unplug any connected
power supply and turn the unit off. When you next turn the unit on,
Rockbox should load. When you see the Rockbox splash screen, Rockbox is
loaded and ready for use.

So I did exactly as instructed.  I unplugged the player from my
computer and turned the player off.  I then restarted the player and
the Rockbox splash screen came up as referred to in the 2.4 section of
the Rockbox documentation.Unfortunately, the screen then went black.  I
tried powering on the player again, and it appears to be deader than a
doornail.  This seems like such a shame, because I believe that Rockbox
SHOULD work as described, and that I just had a unique (bad)
experience.  I hope I can at least get it powered up again and get
Rockbox off the player, so I can return it to Staples and get my money
back.  Of course, I'd prefer to get Rockbox working on this player...
