Help Installing: Mac OS X & HP iPod

[temptemp9]

Hello All-

I am seeking help installing Rockbox on my HP iPod (Mac Extended) used with OS X. 
I don't have access to a PC, so was hoping I could do it all on my Mac. 

I can follow instructions, but was getting confused by them at:

http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IpodInstallationFromMacOSX

Some specifics I got stuck on:

1)  Congiguring the drive FAT 32
2)  Installing the bootloader
3)  Installing Rockbox

When I ran:  dd if=mbr-xxxx.bin of=/dev/diskN  to "Apply the correct partition table",
I got: "No such file or directory"

I would greatly appreciate help with clear, step by step instructions to get Rockbox on my 4th gen (clickwheel) iPod.

Would it be easier to do on a PC?  Currently I don't have access to one  -it appears that it can all be done on a Mac...right?

Thanks a bunch!

That's not very specific.... 

When I ran:  dd if=mbr-xxxx.bin of=/dev/diskN  to "Apply the correct partition table",
I got: "No such file or directory"

You need to replace the mbr-xxxx.bin in that command with the name of the mbr file you downloaded in the previous step.

Thank you very much for the help with the "mbr-xxxx.bin" command.

I will try again and reply with more specific questions.

Question 1:  Can it all be done from my Mac?

Thanks again,

Hello,

I would also like to reformat my ipod mini on my mac (i don't have access to a windows machine) in order to load rockbox.  (i've been using rockbox on my iriver for years now and am a devoted fan!).

But........... I'm getting the message "no such file or directory" when I try the command "dd if=mbr-mini2g-4g.bin of=/dev/disk1"

I've got the mbr file in a rockbox folder on my desktop.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
