I've got similar bootloader installation issue. Mine says "failed to add bootloader. I tried the automatic installation and that is the message I got. I also tried the manual installation, it's kinda weird because the it said, ipod patcher is succesfully installed, press enter to exit. And when I did, my ipod turned to MS DOS mode w/c says cannot loas rockbox.ipod. I had to reset my ipod by pressing menu+select since menu+start was not working. Then nothing happens. I don't know what was I doing wrong. Please advise me. Thanks in advance.
