I have a question, what it would take to be able to burn the boot-loader to a ATMEGA644P


Not sure you are aware but the Sanguino board is based on the ATMega644P.  Instructions for burning a bootloader using an Arduino as an ISP can be found here  http://reprap.org/wiki/Burning_the_Sanguino_Bootloader_using_Arduino_as_ISP

For setting up the IDE you can look at the Sanguino website as well at http://sanguino.cc/.   

For burning a bootloader to the the ATMega1284P look at this forum topic on the Arduino website  http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=137559.0.  The posters present a couple of options on there.

Thanks Dennis, great info! Sorry I messed the thread up!

More info if anyone wants to know how the config works:-

The properties used when burning a boot loader are configured in the arduinoide\hardware\...\boards.txt. You will see properties such as bootloader.path, fusebits etc. for each Arduino board. You can add your own boards.txt entries after reading about the Arduino configuration system. 

There is also an option that enables you to add a new boards.txt below sketchbook\hardware allowing you to upgrade your arduino ide without loosing the new boards you have defined.

Visual Micro uses these config files, if you alter them with Visual Studio already open then click "Tools>Visual Micro>Reload Toolchains"

nb: the "bootloader.path" property relates to files in "arduinoide\hardware\...\bootloaders" folder

All the Sanguino/ATMega644P files needed such as boards.txt are mentioned on the http://sanguino.cc/useit web page.   

Sorry guess I should have mentioned that.
