Flashing bootopie-v0.7.2-h3900.tar should have left the bootloader
intact, but it might hang while trying to boot from that image.

I suspect that holding the action button down while doing a hard reset
will get you the "boot>" prompt.

1. Hold down the action button (the middle of the "arrow" button).

2. Reset the iPAQ.

3. Release the action button.

4. Put it in a serial cradle or connect it to a serial cable.

5. Press enter (or maybe space) in a terminal program connected to that
port.
