Converting Mac formatted nano (was: i need help with nano)
Febs:
Pay attention to this part of the instructions:
--- Quote ---NOTE you must replace "diskN" with the correct name of the disk device assigned to your iPod - disk1, disk2 etc. Using an incorrect device name in this command may result in the partition table for another hard disk in your system being changed. Which is very bad news.
--- End quote ---
What is the name of the disk device assigned to your iPod? Your examples above use inconsistent names.

I am currently working on adding a feature to ipodpatcher to do this conversion for you. I'm just making the final touches to the user interface, and should be able to upload it in the next 30 minutes or so.
Hopefully this will help you out, and it will also help me - I need users to test it.
linuxstb:
You can download the latest ipodpatcher (Mac OS X version) here:
http://www.davechapman.f2s.com/rockbox/ipodpatcher-1.2-test1.dmg
When it detects a MacPod, it will now ask you if you want to convert it to FAT32. Note that this feature has only been tested on my ipod (a 60GB ipod Photo), but I would expect it to work on the Nano. The only ipods it won't work on are the 5.5g video ipods (the ones with 2048 byte sectors).
The instructions are similar to running ipodpatcher to install the Rockbox bootloader, but you now need to run it twice - once to convert to FAT32, and once to install the Rockbox bootloader.
Before you run it, you need to make sure that your ipod's disk is "umounted" - you can use the Disk Utility application for that - make sure you click "unmount" and not "eject". Also close itunes if it opens.
And please report back to let me know if it worked or not.
