Umm ... so where's the disclosure here?

Since you're a ub3rl33t hax0r, fire up your sniffer and figure out what 
filename the firmware fetches (and grab the image to disect). Then setup 
your own tftpd and try a minimal linux kernel compiled for the correct 
processor, video, and IO chipsets.

You could also use this almost unheard of tool to find stuff :

for which the top link is :

Yep. Even Pinnacle's own read-only FAQ webboard has info on alternative 
UI's. Check article #6.
